    Hi Micah,

    This is very interesting (I've actually been for a copy of this for a long time). Thanks for posting it. Was this flyer included with the early production Prestige euphoniums?

    Thanks,

    Robert Pendergast, DM

  3. Hello Robert,

    It is great to hear from you. I found it yesterday whilst searching through some old resources. I believe this leaflet must have been produced around 2002 to 2003 as I believe it came into my possession from my Dad who got one of the new Besson Prestige Euphonium's around this time. I have never seen any leaflet like it before. It would be interesting to see if they produced any more like it. I would love to know more about the development of The Besson Prestige 2052-2 Euphonium over the years.

    Best Wishes,

    Micah Dominic Parsons

    About twenty years ago I had a trial week with a Prestige 2052 which I then did not confirm and also had the brochure in question, of which I made a photocopy. There was also the certificate of guarantee signed by Steven Mead. To go back to exact year I think Doug will able to give a precise answer.
