Description Brand: Besson Finish: Raw Brass Bell Material: Brass Country/Region of Manufacture: United Kingdom
1950 Besson BBb Sousaphone Made In England. Sousaphone bell is 26" which is huge compared to what is being made now. It plays well and sounds really loud! Missing three neck screws and screw to keep the neck from turning but these can be replaced. Has dents throughout but can easily be rolled out or played and enjoyed just the way it is. Serial number is listed in photograph.
Looks to be in good condition for its age. All the Slides and valves move well. They have good compression and the valves move fast. Instrument is in raw brass. Will include a mouthpiece so it's ready to play. Body, bell and neck all original. No case. Local delivery is possible or shipping via greyhound depending on your location unless you have another preference. Due to the large item, we have selected a little longer handling time to ensure that shipping arrangements and packing are done properly. Please contact us if you have any questions. Please look at photos and ask any questions or make an offer. Thank you for your consideration. All sales final.
