Tuba in E-flat Wessex compensating 'Elgar' TE559P lacquered

The Wessex Elgar TE559P Eb Tuba is a version with greater projection within the Elgar range, designed for band musicians who need a broader and more enveloping sound without compromising on precise tuning. Its main difference lies in the 19” bell, which provides more body and presence in the overall sound.

Equipped with a compensated system of 3 pistons plus fourth piston, this tuba offers a more controlled tuning in the lower register, making it easier to play demanding passages with greater security. The lacquered finish enhances a warm and round timbre, especially suitable for band repertoire.

Sound performance and recommended use

The larger bell diameter allows for a more open and expansive sound, ideal for bands that need a solid and more present bass foundation. Unlike models with a more contained bell, the TE559P offers a sense of sound breadth that enhances blending in large ensembles.
