FS: Besson New Standard 3-Valve Compensating Euphonium in Silver

07-27-2020, 09:06 PM

This type of horn can be great for many users. Lighter than a 4-valve version and allows in-tune use of 3-valve fingerings. Most community bands, for example, would not require a range to low for a 3-valve instrument. This one looks very nice and includes a hard case. This was made in 1978 according to the serial number, which was a good time for Besson. It should have the large-shank mouthpiece receiver. Shipping is about $90. Buy-it-now price lowered to $1,100.
