John Packer Backround Brass

JP 072 Tenor Horn

'The new JP background brass range offers exceptional value for money without compromise in quality or playability and as well as being ideal for beginners due to the cost many more experienced players will be more than happy with the performance. They all come with a complete package including a high quality lightweight case which is constructed again to a high standard and offers exceptional transit protection and also a high quality mouthpiece and cleaning accessory package. In my view they are simply fantastic.'

JP 177 Tuba

JP 177 Tuba Eb Lacquer This small wrap instrument (about the same size as a euphonium) is specifically designed to enable smaller players to play with comfort. Excellent build quality. Lightweight case with wheels.

We have worked hard on this instrument to make it as easy as possible for small players to get to grips with it. The leadpipe has been angled to enable easy positioning for the lips and yet keeps the instrument at the correct angle for playing. The instrument has also been made slightly narrower so that a small player can 'cuddle the instrument' easily. Beyond the comfort issues, this instrument is resonant and free blowing and will blend well tonally into any ensemble. Plus it is well engineered with easy valves and solid construction. Ideal for schools, training bands, youth groups etc.
