The Wessex ‘Mighty Midget’ BBb travel tuba is styled on the tornister tuba (meaning backpack tuba) as used by the Austo-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 particular instrument was purchased brand new by a client in 2017 and is being sold with the matching padded soft case. Feel free to message with questions!
