- What does the Wessex British F Tuba sound like? What is it's importance in the musical world? In today's video, we discuss the History of the British F Tuba, and why we fell in love with it, before Will Druiett gives us a cheeky performance to demonstrate it's sound!
The performance was recorded using an Aston Spirit Microphone, and a Scarlette Focusrite interface, to ensure we were able to capture the beautiful sound that Will was able to achieve on our Wessex British F Tuba.
We're looking forward to getting Will back in the Warehouse to play test more of our Tubas! What would you like to see him play?

Looking forward to hearing from you!
I wonder if the Barlows will be reproduced one day, but of course, they were all different. 😊
Love that sound! Very much like the middle brother of the tuba and baritone! Very mellow sound similar to a euphonium or baritone, love it.
What a brilliant take on this Tuba's tone - thank you so much for sharing your thoughts!
First of all, congratulations Jonathan plus one and all at Wessex for bringing back this amazing English F Tuba, which apparently was extinct! It’s very intriguing! Such a tremendous option for all of us Tubists! Hmmmmmmm…
Thank you so much! We're really glad it's back in production and available again :D
Love to see the Hampshire Band in Malta...nice memories
Lovely!
However, I believe the Harry Barlow F tubas of the earlier 20th century were not compensating horns with 5 valves. This would be an interesting comparison, not to mention the 3+2 valve arrangement would perfectly suit most modern f tuba players.
It is compensated, so you've got three valves here and another one there. Deep insights here.
Some people are new to the world of Brass instruments, and appreciate a little extra guidance with things that others take for granted as common knowledge. When introducing this tuba, our social media manager/content creator (NOT a tuba player 😂) asked what makes it compensated, and Will kindly answered her. We’ll be making a video specifically based on these relatively *simple* questions for people who are just starting to learn about Brass instruments, too :)
