From Wessex webpage:
Inspired by the once popular American ‘Monster Bass’ Eb tubas of the past, the team at Wessex Tubas is delighted to introduce our new TE665HP ‘Tubby’ Eb tuba for sale which has much improved intonation against those tubas of the past. This is a modern 5-valve Eb tuba with ‘York’ sound.
It Is ideal for those tubists who prefer playing Eb tuba, but want to produce a beautiful rich broad tone.
This tuba can easily produce the sound of a 4/4 CC tuba, whilst still possessing the agility found in an Eb tuba.
The TE665HP is entirely hand-made from sheet brass in our high-grade workshop, meaning that, although big for an Eb tuba, it is surprisingly light to carry.

Bell: 19” (480mm)
Bore: Valves 1 to 3 0.748” (19mm), 4th valve 0.79" (20mm), 5th valve 0.85” (21.5mm)
Weight: 18.8lb (8.53 kg)
Height of leadpipe from bottom bow - 610mm (25")
Features:
Nickel leadpipe
Stainless steel vented valves
Large valve buttons
All nickel slides
Nickel strengthening plates
Hardened sheet-brass bell
Wyvern engraved valve buttons
Hand-Made High-Grade production
Lightweight ABS latched case with robust wheels
Silver-plated, 5 valves
