Especially one that blew so well straight away. The new JP378 Sterling in lacquer came straight out of the wrapper and felt right, the fourth valve was sensibly placed and the playing position didn't tug at my dodgy back either. I was curious to see it had a tapered lead pipe that fed into a valve block that was very well laid out and used straight through piping where possible. It looked well made with a decent finish. So far, so good then. It got better when I gave it a decent blow in all registers and on full volume it didn't break up and produced one of the nicest tones I have heard for quite a while. Played quietly, it was a really nice blow. It was in tune also – without messing with the first valve slide “a la Sovereign”. I was pleased that the stays and construction were beefed up, apparently taking account of having a hard life in front of it. It came in a robust, wheeled hard case, which had decent sized wheels and had good fittings inside (including a music compartment). Only criticism were the rather strong valve springs fitted to this one. The valves didn't look as though they needed them this strong, sure they will wear in but I would try weaker ones. Would I like one? Yes. Would I swap a Sovereign for one? Probably yes, especially considering this would cost me nearly a new euphonium short of the Sovereign. It seems another collaboration with quality instrument makers Sterling has produced the goods. I would happily take one anywhere and would expect it to match well with any other bass out there.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEwan Easton - Tuba - Halle Orchestra\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Rolls-Royce valves” was the immediate comment. “This will take one heck of a player to find its limits.” Ewan’s house seemed to rattle as he took the instrument through its paces, finding extremes of range at the bottom that I could not comprehend. “What a sound!” “This instrument also looks wonderful.

I was astonished by how good this instrument is!

This instrument is totally different. All the handholds are in just the right place, the fourth valve is within easy reach, as is as the leadpipe, and there are no worries about it falling off the chair. I felt that I could play this instrument all day. It produces a fantastic sound with a good solid core and it is in tune all the way up the scale.

Contact us for current lead time.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\nDevotees of the Eb tubas have a choice between the Sovereign 980 with a smaller bell model, the 981 with the classic 19-inch bell model with the ‘John Fletcher’ leadpipe, and the 982 with carriage rings and a slightly smaller tapered leadpipe.\u003cbr\u003eThe glorious and famous tone of these instruments is the sound you can hear in the world’s leading brass and wind bands, who put their trust in these tubas, noted also for their free-blowing quality and projection.\u003cbr\u003eThe intonation of these instruments allows the organ-likes sounds of the great bands to be built on these foundations.\u003cbr\u003eMany orchestral players and brass quintet tubists feel the richness of sound coupled with their dynamic range.\u003cbr\u003eThis makes these tubas the absolute first choice to do their job.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Besson Sovereign Tuba EEb, 4-Valve compensating, has been a favourite of British Brass Band musicians for many years. The Besson 982 Sovereign EEb Tuba features a compensating 4 top action valve design to bring the lower register in tune plus a high position mouthpipe for the marching band and is fitted with carriage rings and a lyre holder for comfort and convenience. The Besson Sovereign 982 EEb Tuba mouthpipe is slightly narrower, to produce a brighter, clear tone. The Besson BE982 Sovereign EEb Tuba includes a case and mouthpiece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"field-item even\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field-collection-view clearfix
