We are delighted that professional Birmingham tubist, Ian Foster is to become Wessex Tubas artiste.

Ian writes;
I am delighted to be playing a Wessex EEb Tuba. I find the response to be excellent and it has superb intonation across the range. I found the valves extremely responsive, quiet and overall as good if not better than my trusty 981 Sovereign.

I could comfortably take it out of the case and perform a recital.

I tried 2 instruments at the Birmingham Music Service Tuba Day and both were equally excellent. I look forward to the option of having a higher lead-pipe and fully recommend these affordable and well built tubas.

I already have several students wanting to go and try them out.
