Re: Bmb vs Wessex vs Mack brass
I have some playing experience with all but the Wessex. The Big Mouth Brass F is very easy to play and sounds like a small CC tuba. It is a piston horn that really has a lot of bang for the buck. I found that I prefer the sound of a rotary tuba and the Mack Brass fits very well in the bass tuba role for me. It is a very even horn for a rotary valve instrument and the intonation is really consistent top to bottom. I would suggest trying them all before making any moves to see which horn fits your playing needs. Good Luck and I am happy to answer any questions about the Mack Brass F that I can via private message.
