WESSEX TB160GB Mighty Midget Bb travel tuba, 4 rotary valves, lacquered, with case

The Wessex ‘Mighty Midget’ BBb travel tuba is styled on the tornister tuba (meaning backpack tuba) as used by the Austro-Hungarian military bands in the late 19th century/early 20th century – however the 'Mighty Midget' is improved with 4 valves which were not fitted in the original tornisters. The original purpose of this type of tuba was to make a portable tuba for military bands in the days before motorised transport, and as such, although so small, it is designed to play like a true tuba and is suitable to play as bass with a brass, wind, or jazz band. This we have trialed ourselves and found to be the case, with good feedback.

Characteristics:

Height of tuba: 20" (52 cm)
Bell diameter: 9.5" (24 cm)
Bore: 0.59" (15 mm)
Weight of tuba: 11 lb 7 oz (5.2 kg)
Foambody wheeled case suitable to protect tuba when flying
Travel tuba (small enough in a gig bag to fly as cabin luggage)
Practice tuba, particularly for those that live in a flat/apartment with limited space
Lightweight tuba for standing or marching gigs
Easy to take on public transport, or even on your back when travelling by bicycle
Small ensemble playing where a full-size tuba may overpower the musical texture
The ideal present for the tuba player that has everything!
