Wessex F tuba NEW Berg 5-valve TF435P lacquered

The F Bb Wessex Berg NEW lacquered 5 valve TF435P tuba has been designed to meet the needs of tuba players looking for a professional instrument capable of standing out both in solo repertoire and within the orchestra. Its handcrafted construction, along with a carefully developed acoustic design, allows for precise response, rich timbre, and remarkable ease of play in all registers.

One of the standout features of the Berg is its extraordinary versatility. It offers the agility and clarity typical of a great F tuba, but also incorporates a surprisingly wide and stable low register, allowing for the performance of demanding repertoire without the limitations traditionally found in some models of this pitch.

The main innovation of this version is its Yellow Brass bell, a material highly appreciated for its ability to produce a rich, open, and nuanced sound. Combined with its 380 mm diameter, it provides excellent projection, quick response, and a strong sound presence without sacrificing clarity. The result is a defined and flexible voice that can seamlessly blend into an orchestral section or assert itself authoritatively in solo repertoire.

The 5 rotary valve system, with the fifth valve activated by the thumb, provides comfortable and efficient fingering. This configuration facilitates tuning across the entire instrument's range and significantly expands the technical possibilities for advanced repertoire.

The combination of a progressive bore from 19.5 mm to 21 mm and carefully executed craftsmanship allows for smooth airflow and immediate response. This translates into great dynamic flexibility and a sense of control highly valued by professional performers.

With a weight of only 8.35 kg, the Berg maintains excellent comfort during long rehearsal or concert sessions. Additionally, it features the renowned Wessex Z valves, developed to offer fast, quiet, and reliable action.

An F tuba designed for any stage

The Wessex Berg NEW stands out for its ability to adapt to a variety of contexts. Its balance of agility, depth of sound, and ease of response make it an excellent choice for soloists, orchestra musicians, brass ensembles, and advanced students seeking a high-level instrument.
