“Got the compensating euphonium with the four vavles in line. Nice horn but: the valave are far apart and the thumb ring is far from the valves. I would need huge hands to keep my thumb in the ring and play all four valves. I suggest you move the thumb ring and maybe make the fourth valve with the valve stem off center, like some old Conn tubas. They had a disk with a key on the edge to fit in the valve key slot and the threaded valve cap was just a ring that hel that disk down. It was a really nice arrangement.”

“Wessex Tubas Ltd service was good, although I had to wait several months for the tuba gig bag I ordered, due to lack of stock in the US. When the bag arrived, it was in perfect condition. It is advertised to be the correct size for the BBb Viverna horn, however, it is a very tight fit, length-wise. It will serve the purpose. It may loosen up a bit with use (I hope) because new, out of the box, it is barely long enough, making it somewhat difficult to insert or remove the horn. The bag appears well-made, with several pockets for additional gear and equipment, music, etc., as well as having shoulder straps available to carry the horn like a backpack. It is many pounds lighter than the hard-case and less bulky, which are my reasons for purchasing. I am very happy with my Viverna BBb 5-valve tuba, and this gig bag makes transporting the horn much easier.”

“My order showed up in perfect fashion, just a day later than expected. It appears to have sat in Portland for 3 days before it arrived. Would have liked to have been able to get a timely update from DHL.”

“The tuba arrived a week after the order was placed. The valves are a little stiff when the case was opened, and all but first valve came back to full motion in a matter of minutes. I will need to work on that one more to get full motion. The tone and ease of playing right out of the case were great. Looking forward to using the full range once the valve issue is fixed.”

“great instrument overall only complaint is the tuning. the instrument plays well in tune in hot weather but in the cold it plays very flat and the tuning slide doesn't go in far enough to compensate. Also a few minor manufacturing defects like smudges on the levers but overall good horn.”

“Overall I think this instrument is an amazing Horn for the price. However I’ve found what sounds like an air leak coming from the fourth valve and I have yet to locate the source in my practice. Overall a minor detail but, it has been giving me issues.”

“Beautiful horn and great sound! Intonation is a little difficult to get a hold on though.”
