Extra-large finger buttons fitted to 1980s Besson 782

Post by GeoffC_UK »

1982 build.
Besson 782, nee Imperial.
EEb bass tuba
Extra-large finger buttons fitted.
Old (smaller) buttons removed.
Upper valve caps machined with new recess.
Larger standard Yamaha buttons fitted.
Much improved action, in my opinion.

I have to agree - the big Yamaha finger buttons are nice.
