Advert: Wessex Tubas

A brilliant service on superb instruments is what makes Wessex Tubas the pick — just ask Birmingham Music Services.

Wessex Tubas
 

Wessex Tubas are proud to have just supplied Birmingham Music Service with five new tubas for their senior brass band and one for their symphony orchestra.

How well they play

Wessex instruments were chosen purely on how well they play as the music service had already set aside enough funds to buy more expensive tubas.

All the instruments in the senior brass band are top of the range professional models.

Delighted

Both the brass tutors and students are delighted with their new tubas which include three compensated EEb bass, two rotary BBb (which they preferred to the traditional compensated BBb) and a CC tuba for the symphony orchestra.

Wessex Tubas can supply set of four basses to a brass band for under £9,000!Wessex Tubas

Under 9 grand!
