Here is Wessex latest baby!
It is a travel euphonium based on 19th century tornister design used by the Austro-Hungarian army updated for the modern world - so is the tenor tuba equivalent of our Mighty Midget. It is a real beauty and has to be seen to appreciate how small it is. We have called it the 'Maly' which means in Czech small and cute. It plays well with singing tone and good intonation and comes in small case which can easily be taken on flight as cabin luggage. We hope the first will be available in the summer.
Those attending NAMM, or US Army Tuba/Euphonium conference can see and try for themselves.
