Reviews
John Packer JP377 Tuba review
The finish is excellent throughout the range and there is a very well planned and executed progression in quality and responsiveness from entry to professional level. Grenville Moore from John Packer Ltd met up with Ewan Easton from the Halle to review the John Packer range of tubas. 99% of players could not out perform this instrument. Ewan praised the build quality, high quality valves with a good hand position, the responsiveness, and the pedal range. Everything works on this instrument. It has a full range with a singing quality. The notes are easy to centre, its easy to play. The effective compensating system aids excellent tuning.
John Packer JP377 Sterling review
The quality finish and setup of the new JP377 Sterling EEb tuba is second to none. The sound is big and round and intonation is easily controlled at all dynamics and in all registers. The valves are great " well machined, and with a quick action. The Tuba blends nicely in both the lighter and heavier orchestral repertoire, while playing with the Woolston team, the Sterling EEb Tuba blends smoothly and easily produces the solid platform required by the band
