    My '66 Besson NS

    The back view of me NS. The custom trigger is located under the 4th valve, I really like it.

    I'll get a better set of pix later.

    oh wow, is this the E1 the person in the other thread was deciding whether or not to buy? An E1 with the heavy E2 block is pretty rare, no?

    There are some more miscellaneous instruments, but these have been my "players" since around 1980. The only one I retain is the Adams E3 at this point.

    I don't know where the horn is now. The photo was taken in 2014 not long after I got it. I later sold it by consignment through the Tuba Exchange when I wanted to buy an E2. Ultimately I decided the E2 I bought played a little too tubby for my style and I didn't want to adopt that edgy sound needed to cut through it. At that time I wished I had kept the E1. So that may well be the one I had.

    Here's Bramwell.

    Bramwell was purchased via William Himes (new..he partnered with a company in Florida who gave amazing discounts) back in 1988. I was 16. My parents offered me a horn or a car. I knew if I asked for a car I'd never see the horn I wanted. If I got a horn, they'd eventually grow tired of driving me around and give in.

    My logic was perfect.

    Today, Bramwell is the longest relationship I have ever had. We kinda separated for 25 years but in the last year we are going strong. I rejected any/all offers to sell him.

    Bramwell is a Besson/B&H Sovereign 967. He has a few dings but still plays like a dream. Matt @ Dillons says it's the nicest antique he's seen recently. LOL.

    Last July, I was invited to play in the Lancaster British Brass Band and I needed a Baritone. Mister Doug had been offering to sell his and I took him up on the offer.

    Meet Margaret AKA Meg Sterling. She's a saucy lass who hates off beats and Laughs when people are amazed she's compensating (I don't know why this is such a topic of interest).

    They're both British and I'm a happy Momma.

    Next post I'll put up my 1906 Henry Distin and my Dillon 4v non comp baritone.



    The twins are a happy lot and treat me well. Bramwell is the jealous type but needs to realize his little sister is not going to replace him.

    Since most average people can't tell teh difference between a Euph and a Baritone, I call them "THE TWINS".
