FS: Besson 785 3-Valve Compensating Tuba - Recording Bell - GREAT BUY

This is a rare horn, at last compared to what I've seen listed before. It is a BBb instrument with the 3-valve compensating system, which I have to think would be great for use in a concert band. It should clean up nicely with some silver polish. Check out the full description for a few maintenance needs, but the price is VERY reasonable: $950 buy-it-now.

It is indeed a sweet sounding horn. Took more than "some" polish to clean it up too.
