Wessex Tubby EEbb

Post by bass2ba4t »

Any new reviews on this. There seems to be very little mention of it. It was an excellent idea. I only regret that it was built to a modern format in being very short, but that only personal preference.

Well, not really "modern format", as the body is based on the old Monster Eb tubas of 100+ years ago.

I think it's a fantastic tuba, but I'm biased. :teeth:

Unclebeer is right. The Tubby Eb IS a fantastic tuba, and I am not biased.

Here’s my review a year ago viewtopic.php?p=43906#p43906.

The only change to that review is I found the gig bag is not exactly a “perfect” fit since the bell is a little larger than 19”. Wessex has told me they are working on a new gig bag for Tubby.

After almost 18 months, I remain totally satisfied with the Tubby Eb. I play in groups ranging from quartet to 50+.
