British F Tuba - TF458 XP
New: Now made with German Brass
The type of tuba for which the Vaughan-Williams tuba concerto and all British orchestral music up until 1970’s was written. The British F has a unique lyrical tone like a bass euphonium combined with an incredible low register to be able to play the entire orchestral repertoire.
The Wessex TF458HP combines all the beautiful characteristics of the originals, combined with lightweight construction from sheet brass for even better response.
This exceptional tuba represents a beautiful departure from traditional, tight German-style F tubas, offering players a distinctly british f tuba sound characterized by its massive, broad tonal profile.
This model provides the nimble clarity and pristine high-register slotting you expect from an F horn, but couples it with the foundational, pillowy warmth usually reserved for a much larger BBb tuba.
