    Over the years I have had a couple euphoniums where the hand guard was too close for me. The first time I noticed this was on a Besson. It was one of several Bessons I played, but only the one was...

    iMav said it well. The 968 is the more focused of the two Sovereign models that were made at the time (the 967 has a larger sound but less focus). My impression is that it's not quite as popular as...

    A combination of a strong embouchure AND a strong sense of pitch can do a lot. FWIW, I have never had the ability to bring my old Besson's 6th partial into tune without using alternate fingerings....

    I saw that one and considered listing it here. The seller doesn't offer much detail on what was done. I think the bottom bow guard is missing (the narrow bead is there, but is usually on top of a...

    The Besson 968T was on consignment. I need to check the serial number when I have a chance. It's possible this is a British horn and may not have the lowered 3rd valve slide.

    Left Hand Reach to 4th Valve

    Most modern euphoniums have a reduced reach around the 3rd valve slides to help with comfort, especially for small hands. Here are the figures I could gather for all the horns displayed at Schmitt...
