Any experience with Wessex Elf Eb Tuba?

[BrassedOn]

No, not for my Christmas sidejob with Santa.

I’ve been trying out a few used Eb and just the valves are worn to heck and did not seem worth to rebuild. Basically looking at compact little horns. Smallish bells like 14 - 15. 4v preferred but maybe unrealistic. <$1k.

So in the interim was looking at the Wessex Elf Eb. 3 valve top action non compensating. Basic little tuba.

Anyone with some good playing time on these?

Buy once cry once

Cheaper in the long run
