The Wessex Luzern BBB 5/4 Rotary Valve Tuba is designed for players who want the breadth and depth of a large orchestral tuba with the smooth response of rotary valves. With its generous 5/4 size and five rotary valves, it delivers a commanding low register, rich harmonic complexity and excellent flexibility across the full range.
Rotary valve tubas are prized for their smooth legato response and characteristic tonal colour, making them a popular choice in orchestral and European brass traditions. The Luzern combines this classic rotary feel with modern design considerations, offering secure intonation, even response and a balanced playing position.
This rotary valve tuba is well suited to professional orchestral work, large ensembles and advanced solo repertoire, where power, nuance and consistency are essential. For players seeking a large-bore rotary tuba with serious performance credentials at a competitive price point, the Luzern is a compelling option.
The ‘Luzern’ has hardened gold brass bell and comes with ‘Wessex Chief’ tuba mouthpiece, molded ABS latched case with wide placed robust wheels.
