Dreaming with my new Tuba Wessex JBEB-700SG

Makes me wish my one was silver plate instead of lacquer.
What was your first impression of its sound and play ability

English:

Regards Noel, I prefer saving the personal opinion of the Tuba until my teacher does not prove(try) it tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, or a few days happen(pass) more. Still(yet) I am in the probation period of 14 days and want to continue experiencing sensations.

As for the Silvering, my former Teacher, known throughout the world "David" always I remember he said, that the silver instruments sound better and last better in the time.

The Besson 982 that you see in the photo, is 22 years old with me and except some blow, is very nice of painting, almost as the first day.

Español:

Saludos Noel, prefiero reservarme la opinión personal de la Tuba hasta que no la pruebe mi profesor mañana, o pasado mañana, o pasen unos días más. Aún estoy en el periodo de prueba de 14 días y quiero seguir experimentando sensaciones.

En cuanto al Plateado, mi antiguo Profesor, conocido mundialmente "David" siempre recuerdo oirle, que los instrumentos plateados suenan mejor y duran mejor en el tiempo.

La Besson 982 que ves en la foto, tiene 22 años conmigo y salvo algún golpe, está muy bien de pintura, casi como el primer día.

The mouthpiece with which I am proving(trying) the Tuba is the Giddings and Webster "Alan Baer MMVI" and Dennis Wick "3L"

My teacher of Tuba, today 4 january 2012 has probed the Wessex JBEB-700S and my 22 Years Old Besson Souvereign 982.

Now... Extract your conclusions

Silver looks really great if kept polished, but lacquer is much lower maintenance. Take your choice!

Si algún forero bilingue puede traducir este comentario sería de agradecer.

Jose Luis, mi profesor dice:

A mejorar:

1.- Los resortes son muy duros, debería de tener los de Yamaha o Besson que son más blandos.
2.- El precio es muy bueno, calidad precio muy muy buena.

A destacar:

1.- Le gusta más el sonido de la Wessex que la Besson, le pareció que la Wessex tiene un sonido muy afinado en altas y bajas y no rompe.
2.- La Besson tiene un sonido Brillante y Amplio, ideal para Solistas, pero la Wessex va muy bien para Bandas y Quintetos.
3.- El compró hace años una Yamaha de 6000€ y dice que la Wessex tiene mucho mejor sonido que su Yamaha.
4.- Los pequeños defectos, marcas, fallos de pintura, apenas son importantes, en marcas mucho más caras también los hay, incluso más que en esta Wessex.
5.- La posición al tocar sentado o de pie le parece más cómoda que la Besson
6.- Cuando vino a casa pensaba que iba a probar una Tuba de muy mala calidad, quedó gratamente sorprendido, tanto que probó la Tuba como 40 minutos, pero la cinta de la cámara se terminó a los 15 minutos.
7.- La anilla en la parte inferior de la Besson es muy molesta para tocar tanto de pie como sentado, la que trae la Wessex apenas se siente.

Seguro se me escapa algún comentario porque de la emoción que tengo hoy no recuerdo más cosas, pero destacar que ha quedado MUY SORPRENDIDO por lo BIEN que va esta TUBA.

in Bad English:

Jose Luis, my teacher says:

To improving:

1.-The springs are very hard, it(he,she) should have those of Yamaha or Besson that are softer(smoother).

1.-He(She) likes more the sound of the Wessex than the Besson, it seemed to him(her) that the Wessex has a sound very perfected(tuned) in discharges and falls and does not break.
2.-The Besson has a Brilliant and Wide, ideal sound for Soloists, but the Wessex is OK for Bands and Quintets.
3.-He(She) bought years ago a Yamaha of 6000 € and he(she) says that the Wessex has much better sound that his(her,your) Yamaha.
4.-The small faults, brands(marks), failures(judgements) of painting, scarcely are important, in much more expensive brands(marks) also they are, even more than in this Wessex.
5.-The position on having touched sat or of foot it(she) seems to her to be more comfortable than the Besson
6.-When it(he,she) came to house he(she) was thinking that it(he,she) was going to prove(try) a Tuba of very bad(wrong) quality, he remained pleasingly surprised, so much that proved(tried) the Tuba as 40 minutes, but the tape of the chamber(camera) finished to 15 minutes.
7.-The ring in the low part of the Besson is very

Thank you for the video and the comments

I will look at upgrading the springs on all the Wessex JBEB-700 before sale. I already upgrade the valve felts which makes for MUCH quieter valves enhancing the tuba.

[nibirubrassband]

I have proved(tried) the springs of the Besson 982 that we have changed 3 months ago, and the Wessex is obvious softer to the tact, undoubtedly it is a good idea to change them.

He probado los resortes de la Besson 982 que hemos cambiado hace 3 meses, y la Wessex se nota más suave al tacto, sin duda es una buena idea cambiarlos.

Español:

Os voy a contar una anécdota, el primer día que llegó mi nueva
Tuba, habíendola probado solo 1 hora, le mandé un mensaje a Jonathan de Wessex para devolverla pues el sonido me parecia que era muy oscuro, los graves eran muy díficiles de hacer sonar. Una vez que metí agua caliente en su interior el mismo día 4 de Enero antes de que mi profesor JOSE LUIS DOMINGUEZ la probará en mi casa, el sonido de la Tuba empezó a cambiar, claro está, mi profesor toca mucho mejor que yo, mucho no, muchísimo mejor. Habiendo pasado más de una semana debo decir que la Tuba va sonando mejor, mi profesor me sigue diciendo en las clases que hemos hecho estos días que le sigue gustando mucho el sonido de esta Tuba.

Decir también que él "Jose Luis" hacía 3 años que no tocaba una Tuba en Eb, el solo toca desde hace 3 años C y Fa.

Sigo pensando y ahora convencido, que es una muy buena opción de compra, según los comentarios de mi profesor esta tuba wessex "jinbao" no tiene nada que envidiar a la Besson, algo que me sigue pareciendo increíble pero parece ser así.

Si vives en Tenerife y deseas probar mi Tuba sin compromiso puesto que no gano nada en ello más que compartir mi alegría contigo, no dudes en contactarme, te vienes a casa y la probamos.

Un abrazo a todos, cualquier novedad os mantengo informados.

Nota: Comentar que de forma provisional le he puesto los resortes de la Besson y hay una gran mejoría en cuanto a suavidad al pulsar.

English:

I am going to tell you an anecdote, the first day that came my new one
Tuba, having proved(tried) it only 1 hour, I ordered a message Jonathan de Wessex the sound to return it so(then) me parecia that was very dark, the serious ones were very díficiles of making sound. As soon as I put warm water in his(her,your) interior on the same January 4 before my teacher JOSE LUIS DOMINGUEZ will prove(try) it in my house, the sound of the Tuba started changing, clear it(he,she) is, my teacher touches much better than I, much not, much better. Having happened(passed) more than one week I must say that the Tuba is sounding better, my teacher continues saying to me in the classes that we have done these days that he(she) continues liking very much the sound of this Tuba.

To say also that he(it) "Jose Luis" was doing 3 years that a Tuba was not touching in Eb, the alone one touches for 3 years C and Fa.

I continue thinking and now convinced, that it is a very good call option, according to the comments of my teacher this tuba wessex "jinbao" does not have anything to envy to the Besson, Something that continues seeming to me to be incredible but seems to be like that.

If you live in Tenerife and want to prove(try) my Tuba without commitment since I do not gain(earn) anything in it any more that to share my happiness with you, you do not hesitate to contact me, you you come to house and we prove(try) it.

An embrace to all, any innovation I keep you informed.

It(He,She) notices: To comment that of provisional form I him(her) have put the springs of the Besson and there is a great improvement as for smoothness on having pulsated.

[Wyvern]

I could not make out what possibly could be the problem when Ramon contacted me on first receipt saying the tuba was not playing well, as I knew it had been fine (in fact a good player) when it had left me. All I could think was some manufacturing dirt might be inside and shifted in transit causing problem, so suggest he might wash out the inside. I am so pleased that did the trick and it has since been playing so well.

[nibirubrassband]

which you wait to have yours? That are going to be ended! "Laughs". Thank you Jonathan, fulfilled dream!

Español:

Yo ya tengo mi nueva Tuba Wessex JBEB-700SG, a que esperas para tener la tuya? que se van a acabar! "risas". Gracias Jonathan, sueño cumplido!

He said:

... My opinion about the tuba that I proved(tried) in Eb, though I have not proved(tried) tubas in this tonality and therefore I am not most indicated to think, I will say to you that in relation quality - price, the finished one and presentation of the tuba seems to me to be very suitable and correct. On his(...her,your) sound, I believe that it(he) is dark, with body, his(her,your) sonorous response is slightly hard, but her(it) it is necessary to work...

Español - Spanish:

Mi opinión sobre la tuba que probé en mi B, aunque yo no he probado tubas en esa tonalidad y por lo tanto no soy el más indicado para opinar, te diré que en relación calidad-precio, el acabado y presentación de la tuba me parece muy adecuado y correcto. Sobre su sonido, creo que es oscuro, con cuerpo, su respuesta sonora es algo dura, pero hay que trabajarla ...
