What does the Wessex Vienna Tuba sound like?

What does the Wessex Vienna Tuba sound like?
This beautiful instrument shook our socials something fierce, and had a lot of people messaging us for more information on it!
We are thrilled to finally be able to share this video, featuring one of our newest tubas: the Wessex Vienna!
Last month we had Will Druiett at the Wessex Warehouse to demo some of our tubas, and discuss the history of them with our founder and president Jonathan Hodgetts. As always: he also was able to offer his feedback on the instruments :)
In this video, Will provides us with a selection of excerpts to properly demonstrate the range and tone of the Wessex Vienna Tuba. The performance was recorded using an Aston Spirit Microphone, and a Scarlett Focusrite interface, to ensure we were able to capture the true tones of the Wessex Vienna Tuba.
We've got a lot of new videos planned for instruments that are in our range, and instruments that we plan to be releasing in the near future, but we are always 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 :)

Wonderful instrument it has a incredible sound singing quality ! What a fantastic addition to the Wessex collection of fine low brass ! Bravo 👏 !

[@WessexTubasOfficial]

Thank you so much - we are so glad that you like it!

[@samuelzackrisson8865]

really cool instrument. the small bore timbre is really nice to listen to. I think the word you were looking for was homogeneous for the sound. Keep up the great work

[@WessexTubasOfficial]

Thank you so much - we appreciate you!

[@krimsworld]

Oh man i love to see it. Would you consider making them with the old school 3+3 valve system?

[@WessexTubasOfficial]

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and leave your feedback - we can't say that the 3+3 valve system was on our radar already, but we will certainly put the concept forward for consideration. We appreciate your input :)

[@seth094978]

I would have preferred 3+3 (don't like using my little finger) but I am still very excited! When I suggested you make a tuba like this on your TubeNet thread, I figured there was about zero chance you would actually do it!

[@WessexTubasOfficial]

Thanks so much for your feedback Seth! We appreciate your input, and that you took the time to watch and comment :)

[@Nigelrathbone1]

It's basically a large euphonium.

[@WessexTubasOfficial]

Interesting take - what do you find euphonium like about it's tone? We appreciate your feedback!
