I heard from a friend in Charlotte, NC that the private high school he teaches at has a used Besson 766S (3+1, compensating, silver) for sale. According to the band director, there are no major dents, and they had it reconditioned in 2005. The asking price is $1500.
I've seen the Besson name in the past, but don't know anything about Besson or the various models beyond what I've been able to find in the forums here.
Any insight/opinions on the 766? Is it worth taking a day off of work to drive over and check it out, and is $1500 a fair price?
TIA.
