24.01.2022 Australian tuba players have historically been brought up on British style Eb tubas. In the last 30 years European and American style tubas have become more popular in Australia. Wessex offer the best of both worlds - an Eb tuba with a body similar in size to the popular British Eb tubas but with front action piston valves. Designed by renowned tuba player and designer Sam Gnagey, this instrument is sensational. A beautiful singing high register but with a much more open ...low register than the traditional British compensating tuba. If you are going to own just one tuba then this is the one to have. The first one we had we sold to a professional tuba player in one of the defence force bands. We have two more arriving shortly, contact us to try [email protected] or ph 0411314103 All instruments come with a locally supported 3 year warranty against manufacturing defects and a 14 day return policy. Our prices include customs duty, customs brokerage and GST. We ship Australia wide.

16.01.2022 The Bombino is a 3/4 size Eb tuba. What makes it different from beginner instruments is it has a 4th valve and is compensated. So you can play a full chromatic range and it sounds great. I have played this particular model and received compliments on its tone. Have a listen to the video https://youtu.be/8ddArOsc-q4

16.01.2022 Great to see some of the Wessex Eupho's and Tuba's demo'ed - contact us if you would like more information [email protected]. Dolce Euphonium x2, Solo Eb and Wyvern C tuba

13.01.2022 NSW road trip - come along!

13.01.2022 With parts of Australia in the middle of a heatwave it's timely to think of the effect of ambient temperature on brass instruments. Note that other families of musical instruments may have the opposite reaction to temperature changes, so take your time to listen closely

12.01.2022 What do you want us to order for next year? We are about to place an order for our next shipment - due to arrive late January or early February 2017. If you want something specific email [email protected] so we can get the instrument you want. Remember we have a shipment arriving 4th of November (LOT'S of Euphonium's in particular) but we can take an order for the Ophicleide, rotary trumpet or whatever else you would like to try. Or get the tuba in the exact finish you would like.

12.01.2022 Wessex Brass along with our friends Coastmusicaus are now offering a bonus on selected models. As a bonus we offer premium mouthpieces, from Bach, Denis Wick or Perantucci, on certain models as part of the price.

Enter via main doors of Best Western Launceston and turn left - we are in the first conference room on the left on the ground floor. We will have the followings instruments for testing and purchase:... Dolce Euphonium Champion Eb Tuba Pro Cornet Intermediate Cornet Bubbie Eb/F travel tuba Call us on 0411314103 or 0429683104 to meet with us Here is some feedback received yesterday via email from a happy customer: Message Hi My new Wessex Dolce Euphonium is better than what I expected. the intonation is good in fact I played Benedictus at band practice last night and the guys in the band were very impressed with the sound I was getting with the Euphonium. the valves are good and once they have had a bit of use they will be very good I reckon it is better than the Yamaha Custom I was playing I will certainly push Wessex to the band

10.01.2022 There were two performances that I really enjoyed at the NSW State Solo and Party contest on Sunday. Thanks Lachie and Pax for advertising our Wessex instrument...s in such fine style. See these at; www.wessexbrass.com.au Congratulations on your 1st and 2nd places in the Junior Jazz event. Unfortunately, I think I have to post the two videos separately so keep an eye out for them. Going up any moment now.

06.01.2022 Jonathan Hodgetts testing the new 6/4 Compensated Bb bass in UK competitions. We hope to have the prototype to test at the nationals in Brisbane

06.01.2022 We are super excited to be getting one of the new design 'Danube' Eb 5 valve rotary tuba's early next month - from an independent review on tubenet - the two comments that stick out are "I am pretty sure I could not have found a better Eb tuba - used or new - for the money I was willing to spend" and "I am a happy man and brass band is now much more fun than with my old Besson." Personally I prefer the 3+1 style tuba's for brass band - but am happy to be proven wrong once we... get this in stock and hear it in action! I do find the 19 inch bell Eb tuba a bit broad in sound for solo's and hope this new model, which is slightly smaller than the very popular Norwegian Star - will be the Eb tuba for the Eb tuba player who doesn't want to learn F fingerings. We hope to demonstrate this model, plus the 'Gnagey' 4 piston + 1 rotary Eb tuba in Canberra and Melbourne in the next couple of months, unless sold prior. Contact us on [email protected] to arrange a play test or find out when we are in your area. http://www.wessexbrass.com.au//96379e85-a479-ed9a-616b-5f5
