New Rotary Eb tuba

Post by Wyvern »

Here is the new Wessex TE495 'Danube' rotary Eb tuba! A completely new design, the prototype has 16" bell and valve bore of 0.71-0.79". It plays well with good tone and intonation. I tried it out in a rehearsal playing some Wagner yesterday where it is pictured.

Will be added to website shortly and taking orders, with first batch expected May 2016. The TE495 prototype will be at the US Army Workshop in January, one of several new horns Wessex will be exhibiting.
