Besson Imperial Compensating Euphonium SN 570310 EXCELLENT

Here's a GREAT Besson Imperial fully compensating euphonium. For my money, no one makes a euphonium that more typifies the British euphonium sound than Besson. The big, dark, woody sound that these horns make really fill up a room. This is a fantastic example of a Besson Imperial. These instruments are terrific horns and very much like the current Besson Sovereign model 968. They play great, in tune, and with a full voice. This particular horn is in very good condition. This instrument has 75 percent original lacquer and looks great.  Valves are excellent and this horn plays beautifully. There are a few dings here and there but nothing serious. Why spend $8000 on a new Besson, when you can have a great playing horn for a fraction of the cost?Please feel free to email with any additional questions!
