New Besson Euphoniums

[Brandon Jones]

Just got back from Midwest in Chicago, and the new Besson euphoniums blew me away. I had high expectations from what Steve has been saying about them on his website, and even with that, they still exceeded my every expectation. I've always loved the sound that the Besson euphs can make, I just couldn't get past some intonation flaws as well as the valve problems that frequently would occur. These new instruments (Sovereign as well as Prestige) have corrected these problems (don't even need a trigger anymore!) and the valves are BY FAR the best on the market right out of the box! It's truly amazing! The horn will sell itself, but I'm telling you, before they get so popular that they will be on "backorder", get one of these euphoniums!
