    A silver-plated French saxhorn with authentic character

    The Wessex BR20 Silver-Plated French Bb Saxhorn preserves the traditional French saxhorn design while adding an elegant silver-plated finish that enhances both appearance and playing response. It is designed for musicians seeking the authentic French saxhorn sound combined with a refined professional finish.

    Although it shares the same range as a euphonium, it produces the lighter, brighter tonal character that defines the French saxhorn. Its proportions remain faithful to the original French design, making it ideal for traditional repertoire and French-style brass ensembles.

    The 279 mm bell, together with the 15.26 mm bore through the first three valves and the larger 16.20 mm fourth valve, provides balanced airflow, accurate articulation and excellent projection. The small shank mouthpiece receiver delivers a quick response and agile playing feel.

    Weighing only 3.45 kg, the BR20 remains exceptionally comfortable during extended rehearsals and performances. It is an outstanding choice for musicians looking for an authentic French saxhorn with elegant styling and excellent craftsmanship.
