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
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,

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.
2007 Besson Prestige 2052, 3D+ K&G mouthpiece; JP373 baritone, 4B modified K&G mouthpiece; Bach 42GO trombone, T4C K&G mouthpiece; 1973 Besson New Standard 3 compensated valves, 3D+ K&G modified mouthpiece; Wessex French C tuba, 3D+ K&G modified mouthpiece.
Hello Franz,
