For the traditional brass band player, the middle voice of the ensemble demands a very specific tonal fingerprint: a clear, lyrical, and focused ring that can effortlessly weave around euphoniums and trombones.

The Wessex BR140 bb compensated baritone is renowned among section players as an exceptionally well-made brass instrument for sale that delivers that authentic British voice with flawless intonation.

Traditional, uncompensated 3-valve baritones historically suffer from sharp pitch placement in the lower register, forcing players to rely on lip alterations or awkward alternative fingerings.

The BR140 completely eliminates this problem through its integrated 3-valve compensating circuit, giving you point-and-shoot pitch security across the entire staff.

Crafted with a premium gold brass bell, a nickel leadpipe, and highly durable cupronickel tuning slides, this horn produces a rich, singing core that balances beautiful projection with physical comfort.

The stainless steel vented piston valves operate with a fast, smooth, and silent action, while our signature Wyvern engraved valve buttons give it a premium finish.

Comfortable to hold and a pure joy to hear, this baritone is a magnificent upgrade for any ensemble player seeking effortless low-register slotting and total musical expression.
