Button, button. Who has a button?

Post by Tortuba »

Long story short, I have lost a finger button from my very old Besson, 1/2 size, 3 valve Bb (not BBb) tuba. Any ideas where I might find a replacement?

Post a clear picture if possible. There are a couple of resources in the UK that might be able to help with older Besson parts...

Just to clarify...it's a Besson 2-20 with buttons with pearl inserts.
