16 - Jonathan Hodgetts: Wessex Tubas and Historical Instrument Reproduction

The Early American Brass Band Podcast by Chris Troiano, Stephen Cannistraci

Episode notes

Episode 16 is our discussion with Jonathan Hodgetts, founder and owner of Wessex Tubas. This was our first international interview, and we can’t thank him enough for taking the time to speak with us. We cover how and why he started Wessex, what their instrument designing process is like, and how they got into reproducing historical instruments such as the ophicleide and their brand new Over-the-Shoulder Eb Bass.
