Wessex Danube Eb video?

Post by vespa50sp »

I'm interested in learning how a Wessex Danube Eb sounds. I know that it is different from a Gagney or Calvary. I have an old German 4 valve rotary Eb with a 15 inch bell that I like. but like many is problematic in the lower register (Bb below the staff, etc).

Any videos out there?

Thanks

A few years ago I emailed Jonathan about the Wessex EEb tubas. He sent me a video with all of them including the Danube, The Gnagey and the Bombino being tested by a fine player. I do not have that video anymore but Jonathan may have it available.

He does some nice demo videos, I'll give that a try. Thanks
