We say:

The John Packer range of woodwind and brass instruments is part of our portfolio of instruments for AIMS members. This EEb tuba is ideal for any student looking to progress their tuba playing from an intermediate to a higher level.  

John Packer say: 

The JP277 is very attractive if you are looking for a cost effective but capable instrument featuring a fully compensating system. This instrument is suitable for players looking for a big sound in all types of playing, ranging from small ensemble work to large orchestral projects.

Incorporating all the features normally found in more expensive models, the JP277 EEb 4 valve tuba sports that all important 19" bell for a greater sound projection.

Having been described as "a staggering tuba for the money" (Ewan Easton, The Halle) and as having a "neat design" (Wildfred Driscoll), the JP277 EEb tuba has been very well received into the industry garnering high praise.
