For sale: Besson 968 Sovereign Euphonium

Hi everyone,

I'm selling my 12 year old Besson 968 Euphonium: made in Germany. It's in great shape, silver 100%, valves tight and no corrosion of any kind. It does have a few small dings, but they are rather small and don't have an effect on how it plays. There is one quarter sized dent behind the 4th valve, but it plays so well, I left it alone. It comes with its original case which is also in excellent condition with just a tiny bit of surface rust on the latches.
This is the Soloist model with the floated leadpipe and slightly narrower bell diameter. It has a beautiful singing sound and is quite well in tune. There is no MTS trigger and I have never missed it.
Price is 5000€. I would prefer pick up in Berlin, Germany, but if someone wants it shipped, no problem, but at your cost.
I'll be sure to give it a clean and polish before it's sold.
Please write me with any questions or if you would like to see more photos.
Thanks for looking!

Hi! I am interested in this euphonium! I am going to music school and looking for a professional horn.

I live in Michigan, so unfortunately I would not be able to do a pickup. Are you open to shipping overseas?

If so, could you possibly share a video of all the valves and slides moving, and playing it?

Thank you!
