Silver Wessex Tenor Tuba $750 SOLD

Post by Tubadork »

Hey,
I'm selling my silver Wessex Tenor tuba.
It's pitched in C and has a Bb main tuning slide.
4 front rotary valves.
It's in brand new mint condition with no wear, the case is perfect, it also come with a strap and 2 shiny red Wessex pencils.

$750

I'd rather not ship if possible and prefer PayPal.

Here is a link to the pictures:

Thanks!
B

How's it play? Intonation, response, valve action, dynamic ceiling, etc?

Intonation is ok, response is good, valve action is great, not sure about dynamic ceiling, I haven't pushed it that hard.

I bought it for Bydlo, which isn't that loud.

Hope that helps.

I got a hat and a CD in addition to the pencils.

What happened to the hat and CD??

It works just fine for Bydlo, I don't think it could totally replace a euphonium, but it's a fun little toy.
