What Does The Wessex Mahler Tuba Sound Like?

What does the Wessex Mahler tuba sound like?
You spoke and we listened: today is all about the TC470 Mahler tuba!
The Mahler has been a popular request from our audiences on social media, and we couldn’t be more excited to finally be releasing this one for you! Please let us know your thoughts on the Mahler in the comments below?
Remember that comparison video we released a month ago? While we had all of the Tuba’s off the shelf, we decided to have Will Druiett and Jonathan Hodgetts record a video for each individual tuba as well!
In this video, Will Druiett and Jonathan Hodgetts speak about the history of the Wessex Mahler Tuba, before Will provides us with a quick demo. As always: they were both able to offer their feedback on the instrument.
Will’s performance was recorded using an Neumann TLM 103 Microphone, and a Scarlett Focusrite interface, to ensure that we were able to capture the true tones of the Wessex Mahler tuba!
We’ve got loads of videos already recorded and ready for release, but we are always looking to the future and are curious to know what people want to see next.
If you've got a specific instrument you would like to see covered, please let us know in the comments below - and we will certainly try to line something up :)

This is my favorite sounding Wessex tuba!

[@tubanator2010]

I absolutely love these videos, and cannot wait for the Bbs! And the sound of this mar her the average buyer, young, full of hope, determination, with a clear and focused sound

I love the sound of the Mahler I’d love to see a handmade version of it some day!!!

Watching from South Africa. I love the sound of this tuba and the Anton tuba.

Love the sound! My only issue with this style of horn is the placement of the 5th valve. It always tends to be a reach for my thumb and reduces my agility on the horn overall. I wish there was a rotor setup more similar to a 4 piston plus 1 rotor arrangement, with the 5th valve taking on a slightly larger bore and positioning the rotor actuator almost exactly in between the first and second paddles with an adjustable thumb ring for maximum ergonomic playing.

Can you do a video on your BBb sousaphone

[@GamerTime_2002]

That is an impressive price

[@angelpaz250]

Sounds great! What is the name of the piece you are playing at the very end at 5:58? Thanks!

[@KaiDAmbrosio]

Can you make some more videos about the Linz f tuba?

[@WessexTubasOfficial]

Well certainly add this to the list!

[@rstockhausen32]

I will definitely be looking into this when I graduate. Also, what was the name of the song at the end?

[@AltonPowell-cl5ci]

I'm looking for horns to use in college marching

This looks very similar to a miraphone 186 or the Mach Brass 410. I personally have a mack brass 410 but im missing a thumb ring it was unscrewed by some previous owner and lost. Dos the Mahlers thumb ring do that if so id be interested in acquiring one.
