CC Travel Tuba (tornister tuba) ‘Mighty Gnome’ – TC161
The Wessex Mighty Gnome CC Tornister Tuba is a unique mini travel tuba that brings together heritage, innovation, and performance. Inspired by the compact tornister tubas once played by Austro-Hungarian military bands, this Wessex-exclusive design offers a full, resonant sound from a body small enough to carry anywhere.
Developed from our popular BBB Mighty Midget, the Mighty Gnome has been crafted specifically for CC players who want a lightweight, portable tuba without sacrificing depth or projection. It’s proof that small can still sound mighty, with excellent intonation, quick response, and the characteristic warmth that defines a true tuba.
Originally, travel tubas were created to make bass instruments more portable for military and marching bands in the days before motorized transport. The Mighty Gnome keeps that same spirit alive; compact enough for easy travel, yet powerful enough to hold its own in brass, wind, or jazz ensembles.
Today, this tornister tuba fits perfectly into modern musicians’ lives. Whether you’re flying to a gig, practicing in a small apartment, or performing in an intimate ensemble, the Mighty Gnome is designed to go wherever you do.
From travel and practice to live performance, the Wessex Mighty Gnome Tornister Tuba is the ultimate small tuba with a big voice; a perfect blend of history, craftsmanship, and portability for the modern musician.
This we have tried ourselves and found to be the case with good feedback.
In the modern age this mini tuba has many uses such as;
- Travel tuba (small enough in a gig bag to fly as cabin luggage)
- Practice tuba, particularly for those that live in a flat/apartment with limited space
- Lightweight tuba for standing, or marching gigs
- Easy to transport on public transport, or even on your back travelling by bicycle
- Small ensemble playing where a full size tuba may overpower the musical texture
- The ideal present for the tuba player that has everything!
Special offers
- Lightweight Gig Bag B160 is available at a discount when bought with tuba
- Purpose stand available
- Special Practice Mute
Note: Bag for this tuba is B160
