Thread: FS: Besson New Standard in Lacquer for a Low Price

  1. #1

    Thumbs up FS: Besson New Standard in Lacquer for a Low Price

    This could be an outstanding buy! The horn has plenty of scratches, but I don't see much denting. It has the original "Christmas tree" valve caps for all 4. Seller says it is in good working condition. Based on the close-up of the valves, it looks like some new felts would be in order. No case is included. The buy-it-now price is only $1,299 and there is a make-offer button!

    SOLD FOR $1299 - CONGRATS ON A GREAT BARGAIN (is the buyer on the forum?)

    Thanks for the referral!

    I just bought a set of buttons for my NS, and since they have no inserts, I'll set them with Arizona turquoise.
