Euphonium - Besson Prestige 2052 4-Valve compensating Euphonium

Besson Prestige BE2052 Compensating Euphonium

Silver-plated 4-valve compensating (3 upright/1 side action). Also has main slide throw mechanism to tune the 6th partial. Sports a .590 bore, large shank mouthpiece receiver, and a 12-inch bell for that full, warm, and enveloping Besson sound. I will include the original hard case, Denis Wick SM 3.5 mouthpiece and cleaning materials with the purchase. This particular model is 2004-2006 and was made in Germany.

This horn has served me very very well in the time I have had it. It has won me numerous auditions, including acceptance into the Euphonium studio at UNT. I have taken great care of it, there is only a minor tarnish where I have rested my thumb.
