SOLD!
This is a 1970s Besson 15" bell compensating Eb in satin silver with bright silver accents and bell interior. Original small British shank receiver, ball buster and strap rings have been removed.
This tuba is fresh out of the shop, including lifting out various dents, valve alignment, new corks/felts, etc. Currently working on polishing it up, and then will post new pics.
Silver plating on the horn is 99%. In full disclosure, valves show the tiniest bit of wear -- I would rate them 95%. All slides get a nice pop when pulled.
If you are looking for a classic English Eb tuba with the smaller bell, this is it.
Asking $2,750 or best offer.
These are BEFORE pics. The pings in the bell and branches have been removed, including that gnarly one on the top branch. All work has been done by Dick Hansen out of Brimfield, MA. I will get updated pics up within the next week or so. PM or email beanhillbrass at gmail. Thanks!
