Sovereign 967 & 968
I'm looking at buying a Besson Sovereign 967. The serial number is 968-762151. Its at a music shop and on consignment. It sounds great to me; much better than my current Yam YEP321 which I bought many moons ago (30 yrs). Cosmetically it has a few minor dings, the bell is in excellent condition. Is it strange the serial number starts with 968 when its a 967, or am I reading too much into it?
I'm currently getting back into playing and was seeking opinions about the instrument. I've read some of the threads about the differences in sound and different models.
Any opinions would be helpful.
Thanks.
