People are asking what Wessex will have at US Army Conference in Washington DC and TMEA in San Antonio. The answer is a LOT! At Army we will have our biggest booth ever, but even then I don’t know if there will be room to display everything. Anyway planned exhibits are;


- TC694 Chicago Presence 6/4 CC
- TC695 Chicago York 6/4 CC
- TB692 Grand 6/4 BBb
- TB480 New design Viverna 4/4 BBb
- TC590 Wyvern 5/4 CC

- CB90 F cimbasso (plus CB91 Eb)
- OTS Over the shoulder Eb bass saxhorn
- TC236 French C tuba
- TB160 Mighty Midget BBb tornister
- TC161 Mighty Gnome CC tornister
- TF135 Bubbie F travel tuba
- ER154 Maly euphonium tornister
- EP100 Dolce Euphonium
- EP104 Festivo euphonium
- EP105 Duplex euphonium
- BR144 4-valve compensated baritone
- PBF565 New professional bass trombone
- PF588 New F contrabass trombone
- OB10 Bb ophicleide

And for TMEA some horns and trumpets too

Great list! I will be buying a Euphonium for sure at TMEA, and am looking forward to trying the e flat and f tubas too along with the new bass trombone.

Awesome, I’ll be at TMEA to give the ophicleide, the new bass and contrabass trombones and the BBb tornister a spin. Thanks for this list!

Even if you have tried Wessex in the past, do again and you will see how much the quality has risen in the last couple years.

Silver-plating is now double the thickness of most other horns made in China and we have really been working to perfect every detail to the highest standard. Rotary linkage now uses robust solid nickel levers and removable Wessex Z valves are the norm on larger rotary tubas. All piston valves are stainless steel with nylon valve guides - with most now vented for smoother legato playing.

And every single horn is quality assured and play tested by the experienced Wessex team before leaving the factory (those that don't make the grade are rejected and stay in China)

Come and meet Chuck Nickles (Wessex chief engineer), Paul Maybery (Wessex artiste) and myself, Jonathan Hodgetts (Wessex founder) at the Wessex Tubas booth at Army conference

Was the jazz tornister left off the list in error??

There is just not room for everything. But as you want to try, I will include the Jazz tornister in the van.

If there are other instruments people want to try that are not listed, do let me know and I will attempt to bring along if we have in stock and there is space in the van.

Thanks, I'll see you Friday, 02/02/2018!!
