Anyone have one of these? How do they play - intonation, response, etc.? I know it's a peashooter with the usual limitations most likely, so I'm most interested in comments specific to the Bessons of this vintage and size.

Had one once. the 123 E natural is as sharp as you'd expect it to be. 13 was also a bit sharp. You'd benefit quite a bit with a way to nudge either the 3rd valve slide or the main tuning slide for these notes. Otherwise, it sounds like a euph on steriods -- nice little Eb.
