SOLD - EE-flat Besson 981

Post by Cameron »

EE-flat Besson Sovereign 981 tuba for sale; 3 + 1 piston valves, silver-plated. It has a 19” bell and a 0.681” (17.3mm) bore. Its serial number is 981-740926, and was built in England in 1986 or 1987. There are a few minor dents in the bottom bow, and some wear of the silver plating, but other than that it is in good condition. It comes with the original Besson hardshell case, a Blues Reunion gig bag, and a Denis Wick 3SL mouthpiece.

I’m asking $4700 CAD. It has served me well since I purchased it in 2014, having used it in brass band and concert band music. If you would like to see some pictures, send a reply.
