Wessex Tubas - what would you like?You can hardly have failed to notice that Wessex Tubas has been bringing out new models of tuba and euphonium (as well as trombones and even cornet) at an unprecedented rate of more than one a month. Most of these are completely new models, or resurrections of classic ones of the past. This is thanks to a talented team of developers and very close relationship with what is probably the largest brass instrument factory there has ever been. There are more surprises on the way!

Re: Wessex Tubas - what would you like?I think you're going to get a lot of requests for a piston Valve F and CC tubas
Personally I would love a better attempt at a rotor tenor tuba, but I might be the only one
Re: Wessex Tubas - what would you like?Made in the UK? :)
Seems like kaiser BBb's are gaining popularity in the US, and were never unpopular in Europe. I'm not sure what your biggest rotary BBb is right now, but I'm sure something else could be done along those lines.
Re: Wessex Tubas - what would you like?I certainly think a CSO York copy would be tempting to lots of people if it were along the price line of other Chinese instruments.
Re: Wessex Tubas - what would you like?It would be great to see another entry into the British Tenor Horn market. After showcasing what Wessex can do with tuba designs, I would say you could quite easily create a better and more affordable option for horn players. Maybe a Wessex take on the Globe Plated Sovereigns...?
Another I would like to see is a small front action piston CC/BBb tuba. Something similar to the Yamaha 621 style instruments, with a small 15" or alike bell.
Re: Wessex Tubas - what would you like?There already is a very nice chinese 621 CC copy. A member of this forum owns one, and as far as I know he's very happy with it. They are hard to find in America, so even Getting wessex to distribute them would be a nice accomplishment
Re: Wessex Tubas - what would you like?Compensating F tuba
French C tuba Double-bell euphonium 6/4 CC tuba Eb Helicon G tuba (like Bobo's)
Re: Wessex Tubas - what would you like?
+1. There's not a Chinese York-style 6/4 copy yet, is there?
Re: Wessex Tubas - what would you like?BMB is made in China.
Re: Wessex Tubas - what would you like?What about a rotor tuba with Marzan style rotor placement?
Re: Wessex Tubas - what would you like?I'm with everyone on the 6/4 tuba idea. Just a good one. CC or not, just a good 6/4. I'm down with a good BBb.
Re: Wessex Tubas - what would you like?How about valve blocks? There seems to be a weird embargo about selling valve blocks by themselves. I bet they'd sell...
Re: Wessex Tubas - what would you like?
In BBb, that's just what I'm looking for. A Helicon would be nice too.
Re: Wessex Tubas - what would you like?Something like a 5/4 Rudy Meinl in CC and/or BBb.

Re: Wessex Tubas - what would you like?
:smile: How about a dual bore slide option for bass trombone? A very small front piston bass tuba would be cool.
Re: Wessex Tubas - what would you like?Thanks for the ideas to date. I can say some of those are already in development or planned. But there are other good ideas we had not previously considered.
Re: Wessex Tubas - what would you like?
I've got one on order that will be here in a few weeks. Even though he doesn't stock them or put them on the Mack Brass web site, Tom McGrady got it for me.
Re: Wessex Tubas - what would you like?This isn't a request for a particular instrument, but I do wonder if Jinbao could be persuaded to do something about the linkages on rotary tubas.
Re: Wessex Tubas - what would you like?
my next post was going to be to offer upgraded linkages for people that own older tubas with the bad linkage. I thought I heard that they have upgraded the linkage since my horn was made I like the idea of being able to purchase a valve that as well.
