Description Brand: Wessex Tubas Bell Material: Yellow Brass Finish: Lacquer Items Included: Case, Mouthpiece
This is an 11-keyed ophicleide in Bb, the predecessor of the orchestral tuba, based on a model by Gautrot, the famous 19th century French brass instrument manufacturer. Designed and developed by Wessex Tubas and produced by their partners in China, it offers trombonists, tubists and euphonium players fascinating opportunities to extend their musical scope and activities. This particular example has hardly been played, and is therefore in outstanding condition. The current (sale) price of the model is £2,777, so this represents an excellent chance to acquire an ophicleide at a bargain price. Included is a tutor containing fingering charts, exercises and duets.Buyers would be welcome to collect the instrument from North Hertfordshire; alternatively, the seller is prepared to deliver anywhere within a 50 mile radius of Cambridge. Further afield, couriers will be used. For international deliveries, request a quote.
