Here is a first look at the development prototype for Wessex new TB336 3/4 BBb tuba developed by Chuck Nickles aimed mainly at the student market with good modern solid intonation. Bore is 0.7” and bell 19”

This one is different/smaller than the 4 valve Viverna you mentioned??

is that an Eb bell?
make sure there are 2 slides on 4th valve, so you can tune it to main 4th slide all the way in, then have the option to pull it and pop it right back.

Considerably smaller than the Viverna. Here is the new ¾ next to Dragon (4-valve version of Viverna)

It shares bell with the TE560 Champion Eb. We wanted larger diameter bell to make more secure if students placed on bell

Looks very nice! Any chance of these having a CC version available?

I like this idea.

What's the status of this horn? Still in development? Just curious when it will go up on the website.

Definitely a cool design. Nice to see some 3/4 horns with a larger bell. Interested to see what they will be selling for.
