Tuba in F Wessex California Symphony lacquered 4+1 TF556HP-GB

Tuba in F Wessex California Symphony lacquered: warmth and orchestral presence

The Tuba in F Wessex California Symphony TF556HP is the lacquered version of this model specifically designed for the symphonic environment. Its design prioritizes a broad, enveloping sound with greater tonal density, providing a solid and stable foundation within large orchestral formations and symphonic bands.

Darker and rounder sound

The lacquered finish on gold brass contributes to a warmer and deeper sound character compared to the silver-plated version. This quality is particularly interesting for orchestral repertoire, where a natural blend and a consistent low register are sought without losing clarity in articulation.
