Greetings to all,

my name is Ramon, I'm from Tenerife (Canary Islands - Spain). I have 22 years playing in the band of my people a Besson 982 Eb Souvereign.

I remember fondly his arrival, the purchase of surprise to me, brought it from England my professor of Tuba at that time, the popular and famous David Llácer. David was playing by those same Tuba at the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra.

Over the years I tried to buy the Tuba Band music of the people then, I was the only musician who had played, and even when it was released 22 years ago. As I said, I tried to buy the Tuba repeatedly, but again and again fate has not wanted to happen to my hands, I'm playing in my band but not mine.

I was such a thorn stuck and looking on the internet ...

Not long ago, and wanting to buy my own tuba, I found the offer of the Wessex brand "Jinbao", namely the JBEB-700, I found it amazing how so similar if not identical were the 982 and 700. I got in touch with Wessex and after much thought for several months, finally in mid-December 2011 Jonathan decided to trust and buy my JBEB-700S, which I hope even eager.

Here my dream ...

I hope the 700 is as close to the 982 that I played for many years, I know that there is a big price difference, but maybe this time the rule is not complied with and something that costs more does not have the economic to be worse .

As I say, I am very excited about the purchase I have made, will arrive in early January 2012, I hope the surprise is better than expected and be able to tell you my experiences with the Tuba.

A hug to all and Happy Holidays.

Soñando con una Wessex "Jinbao" JBEB-700S

Saludos a todos,

mi nombre es Ramón, soy de Tenerife (Islas Canarias - España). Llevo 22 años tocando en la banda de mi pueblo una Besson Souvereign 982 Eb.

Recuerdo con mucho cariño su llegada, la compraron de sorpresa para mí, nos la trajo desde Inglaterra mi profesor de Tuba de aquella época, el conocido y afamado David Llácer. David por aquellos años tocaba esa misma Tuba en la Orquesta Sinfónica de Tenerife.

Con el paso de los años intenté comprar la Tuba de la Banda de música del pueblo pues, había sido yo él único músico que la había tocado, incluso estrenado ya cuando llegó hace 22 años. Como decía, intenté comprar la Tuba en repetidas ocasiones pero, una y otra vez el destino no ha querido que pase a mis manos, la sigo tocando en mi Banda pero no es mía.

Se me quedó esa espinita clavada y mirando por internet...

No hace mucho tiempo, y queriendo comprar mi propia tuba, encontré la oferta de la marca Wessex "Jinbao", concretamente la JBEB-700, me pareció increíble ver lo tan parecidas por no decir idénticas que eran, la 982 y la 700. Me puse en contacto con Wessex y tras pensarlo mucho durante varios meses, finalmente a mediados de Diciembre de 2011 decidí confiar en Jonathan y comprar mi JBEB-700S, la cual, espero aún con muchas ganas.

Espero que la 700 sea lo más parecido a la 982 que he tocado desde hace muchos años, sé que hay una diferencia de precio muy grande, pero quizás esta vez la regla no se cumpla y algo que cuesta más económico no tenga por que ser peor.

Como os digo, estoy muy ilusionado con la compra que he hecho, llegará a principios de Enero de 2012, espero que la sorpresa sea mejor de lo esperado y poder contaros aquí mis experiencias con esta Tuba.

Un Abrazo para todos y Felices Fiestas.

Ramon, I have just been play testing and it is a real good one - in fact I think plays even better than my demonstrator :)

And looks stunning with the gold valve caps - I will post picture before it is shipped tomorrow

True, but this time I think it's worth the wait.

Jonathan looks like a serious person, I trust him more than the brand itself.

Hello you will not be disappointed I bought one in June from Jonathan and found the transaction to be both easy and quick.
Good luck with the tuba

Ramon,

Here are some pictures of your new tuba. This is the first one we have had with gold valve caps which I think looks stunning!

Thank you very much for the Photos Jonathan, had asked you to extract the your one with my Tuba before her(it) sending to Tenerife, but you have forgotten or have not understood me for my bad(wrong) translation.

I have liked the photos very much, already I have put them in my Facebook.

I will have to get used to the gilding of the lids(snacks) though he(she) does not still have it(him,her) badly completely, it(he,she) is different. I will like insurance more directly.

Already you warn me when the enviés to Tenerife, an embrace and Happy Christmas.

Español - Spanish.

Muchas gracias por las Fotos Jonathan, te había pedido que te sacaras una con mi Tuba antes de enviarla a Tenerife, pero te has olvidado o no me has entendido por mi mala traducción.

Las fotos me han gustado mucho, ya las he puesto en mi Facebook.

Me tendré que acostumbrar al dorado de las tapas aunque no le queda mal del todo, es diferente. Seguramente me gustará más en directo.

Ya me avisas cuando la enviés a Tenerife, un abrazo y Feliz Navidad.

Jonathan does not spend(pass) anything, it was a recollection that wanted to have, but well, it(he,she) costs(suits) me if you extract the photo with another Tuba like the mia.

An embrace, do I imagine that already it(he,she) her(it) has gone to Tenerife today?

Spanish - Español

No pasa nada Jonathan, era un recuerdo que quería tener, pero bueno, me vale si te sacas la foto con otra Tuba igual que la mia.

Un abrazo, imagino que ya la ha salido para Tenerife hoy?

Mucha suerte con su tuba nueva! Yo me acuerdo teniendo que esperar la llegada de la primera tuba que yo compré, y solo tuve que esperar algunas días, no semanas! La tuba es muy bonita de verdad, espero que toque bonita tambien!

Felicidades y que tengas muchos años felices con su tuba nueva!

Me gusta decir que hablo "Espanglish" porque viví en Puerto Rico como misionero por dos años, asi que hablo bastante bien, pero no es perfecto. Mi mision ya fue hacen 5 años, y se que mi español no es como era. Pero, gracias por responder y que bueno que me entendiste! De nuevo, mucha suerte con la tuba nueva! Espero las fotos cuando llegue!

Jonathan, I have not stopped seeing today the photo of my new Tuba, every time it(she) seems to me to be nicer and I like the gilding of the lids(snacks) more.

Tubajug and Elephant, thank you very much for your comments and help.

I you present the Tuba Besson 982 that I take touching 22 years, it(she) is not mine, is of the Band of Music of my People(Village). In spite of the years it(she) is very elegant, some blow in the base but it continues sounding as the first day and I have very much fondness.
Shortly his Clon "Wessex JBEB-700S" will come, and I will amuse myself touching both.

Os presento la Tuba Besson 982 que llevo tocando 22 años, no es mía, es de la Banda de Música de mi Pueblo. A pesar de los años está muy cuidada, algún golpe en la base pero sigue sonando como el primer día y le tengo mucho cariño.

En breve llegará su Clon, y me divertiré tocando ambas.
