Wessex 'Wyvern' 5/4 CC Tuba SN 051612 Gold Brass EXCELLENT
Tubas/Sousaphones
<p>A modern symphonic CC with effortless response, secure intonation, and a broad, singing core.</p>
</header>
<article class="overview">
<p>The Wyvern delivers big-ensemble authority without feeling unwieldy. Four front-action pistons pair with a rotary 5th for flexible tuning and smooth slurs, while thoughtful ergonomic touches (first-valve slide lever, improved water-key placement) make live adjustments second-nature. Recent updates refine durability and feel—preserving the horn’s characteristic, room-filling sound. </p>
<ul>
<li>5/4 CC contrabass design with <strong>4 stainless vented pistons + rotary 5th</strong> (left thumb) for secure low register. </li>
<li><strong>19" bell</strong> with efficient taper: warm, centered tone that carries in orchestra or wind ensemble. </li>
<li><strong>Nickel-silver leadpipe</strong> and <strong>all-nickel slides</strong> for longevity and stable response. </li>
<li><strong>First-valve slide lever</strong> for quick pitch touches; ergonomic water-key placement. </li>
<li><strong>Hardened, solder-rim bell</strong> and nickel strengthening plates for road-worthy durability. </li>
</ul>
<p>The Wyvern speaks easily and slots predictably across registers. Vented pistons help legato feel seamless, while the rotary 5th simplifies intonation in the lowest notes. On-the-fly pitch nudges are simple with the slide lever, and the reinforced bell construction stands up to travel and daily use. Ideal for orchestral and wind-ensemble tubists who need a versatile 5/4 CC that blends warmly yet projects when needed. </p>
<p>This instrument was traded in by a local player, and while it shows some use and lacquer wear, is in excellent playing condition. It has just been serviced in the shop and plays GREAT!</p>
