Tuba plays beautifully. Took a little time getting familiar after transitioning from a St. Petersburg. Lower register is wonderfully resonent. I really enjoy the 4 piston valves compared to 4 rotary valves. I am able to play sixteenth notes much easier than on the St. Petersburg 4 valve rotary design. The only issue I have is water in the horn. Yes, it has 4 water valves but sometimes finding where the gurgling is coming from can be a challenge even after pulling all the slides out.

The horn is super, I am impressed by the quality and playableity of the horn. The horn and I have received compliments not only on the looks but the sound that it produces. Thank you for making a professional horn at an affordable price. You knocked this one out of the park. Chris Coody.

Great sounding tuba. Valves feel a little heavy.

We're incredibly happy with our purchase - great communication, quick shipping, and excellent instruments. Tuning is very manageable and consistent. Stock mouthpiece that comes with the instrument is not some cheap POC! Thank you Wessex!

I have enjoyed playing this tuba. Nice intonation. A little discolouration around the rim due to water. Really enjoyed the 5 water valves... much easier than turning the tuba 3 times. Valve action very smooth and quiet. Paul
