The Eb helicon tuba, the forerunner of the modern sousaphone, offers a unique playing experience.
Its circular design provides a balanced and comfortable feel, with a lower center of gravity than its successor. The helicon tuba's circular shape doesn't compromise its playability; it functions much like a traditional tuba.
Our Eb helicon for sale is exceptionally well-suited for brass musicians who need to move around while performing, such as jazz musicians or marching band members. Its sound is clear and projects well, making it the ideal choice for outdoor performances.
Wessex Tubas has reimagined the helicon tuba for the modern brass musician, incorporating the very best elements of the sousaphone into a new design that is both comfortable to carry and a joy to play.
The thoughtful placement of the valves allows for effortless operation, and the inclusion of four valves expands the instrument's range, enabling musicians to play a wider variety of music.
The Wessex Eb helicon tuba also features pullable slides that allow for on-the-fly tuning adjustments, ensuring the instrument stays in tune throughout a performance.
What’s more, for ease of transportation, the bell is detachable and the instrument fits snugly into a custom-designed wheeled case made from molded ABS plastic.
The large bore of this Eb helicon for sale produces a rich, broad tone, and the positioning of the fourth valve accommodates both right- and left-handed players.
The Wessex helicon tuba offers a superior playing experience for musicians on the move. Its combination of comfort, playability, and sound quality makes it a compelling alternative to traditional tubas and sousaphones for standing performances.
