Besson International 782 4 valve Compensating Eb Bass Tuba

This is a really good Eb tuba. Except for a wrinkle in the bell, that is hard to see in the pictures, the tuba is in excellent playing and cosmetic condition.

How does the 782 differ from the nine-eighty series of Eb tubas?

[Vegasbound]

Would I be right in the thought that the International is a modern attempt at remaking the imperial line ?

How does the 782 differ from the nine-eighty series of Eb tubas?

I believe the international line is Chinese made.

I have no idea what you're saying, but thank you.

The International production is at the Buffet owned factory in China.
The Sovereign is made in Germany.

SOVEREIGN - 982 - top model - Professional
INTERNATIONAL - 782 - second - Professional
PRODIGE - 187 - third - Student

Like most of these situations for 90% of players the International is just as good as the Sovereign.

Sovereign $12,000
International $7,000
Prodige $3000
