You are looking at a great old English built Compensated Besson Class A BBb compensated Tuba. This instrument is in great condition for its age just take a look at the photos, until recently it had been in storage for many years. The instrument is in a silver plate finish which has a very good appearance and it about 95% intact with just a few small bits of wear around a couple of the stays and joints, the bell has all the flowery engraving you associate with an English built tuba of this era. There is one dent on the bottom of the tuba in the reinforcing strip of the bottom bend, other than this and the odd small nik the tuba is dent free. (check out the photos) We have serviced the instrument so all the slides, caps and valves move freely, and it plays with a good tone. The instrument has a new soft gigbag case and is supplied with a mouthpiece (An old Kosi-cup mouthpiece that may be the original one supplied with the instrument when it was new !!). These instruments were built to last and this model is no exception, complete working example ready to play straight out of the case. In this condition a rare ready to use example of a Besson compensated BBb tuba.
