If your child has shown a real interest in music, you may wish to support them in pursuing and developing that passion by encouraging them to start learning an instrument and, naturally, here at Wessex Tubas, we would recommend learning how to play a brass instrument!
Purchasing a new instrument is so much more than simply an impulse buy; a spur of the moment decision based on your mood. Buying an instrument is a long term commitment, and whether you’re a seasoned professional or just starting out, you need to know that the instrument you choose will stand the test of time.
People often ask me why they should buy a new tuba, or euphonium* from Wessex instead of a second-hand one made by a more expensive brand. There are a number of reasons to buy new from Wessex, the most important of which is the sheer pleasure of owning a beautiful new instrument.
A very Merry Christmas from Jonathan, Mei, Andy and Chip at Wessex Tubas!
When Wessex Tubas started in 2011 the first tuba in the range was the EEb compensated bass tuba, the staple tuba used throughout the UK in bands and orchestras.
Only a few of the common spare parts for Wessex are listed on this website. However virtually any part is obtainable. If we do not have it in stock, then we can obtain from the factory – small parts like screws within one month, or complete components, such as replacement slide in 3-4 months.
For a limited time only we have a special sale offer available on our Bb cornet in lacquer finish for only £175 (reduced from £235).
Rotary valves will rarely actually stick in use like pistons, but if not maintained will start getting slow and possibly noisy.
