Description Brand: Besson Skill Level: Intermediate Type: Standard Euphonium Country/Region of Manufacture: France Finish: Raw Brass
Vintage French Besson 5 valve euphonium in raw brass. The serial number puts the date of manufacture at 1897. This was before the time when the compensating system was invented. The fifth valve acts as a manual compensating system, adding extra tubing for lower notes to bring the instrument more in tune. The instrument is in high pitch as were most of the instruments of that era. The instrument was reconditioned by the person who sold it to me last year. I'm down sizing my collection, so my loss is your gain. It is a beautiful example of workmanship of that era.Shipping to Continental US only.
