Inspired by the once-popular American ‘Monster Bass’ Eb tubas of the past, the team at Wessex Tubas is delighted to introduce the TE665 "Tubby" Eb tuba. This modern 5-valve compensated tuba delivers a beautiful, rich "York" sound with vast improvements in intonation over historical models. Ideal for tubists who prefer playing in Eb but want to produce a broad, dark tone, this instrument effortlessly creates the sound of a 4/4 CC tuba while retaining the natural agility of an Eb horn. Entirely hand-made from sheet brass in our high-grade workshop, the TE665 is surprisingly lightweight to carry despite its grand proportions; the hand-crafted construction offers immediate acoustic feedback, exceptionally stable slotting, and reliable mechanical valve action. Whether anchoring a symphonic band, playing in a brass band, or performing complex solo repertoire, it offers boutique craftsmanship and acoustic power. Order with the matching B665 gig bag to protect your investment and save on shipping costs!
