? for experts re: Besson Sovereign Model 992 BBb

I recently pressed my Besson Sovereign BBb (Model 992) back into service. The serial reads 992-720XXX, suggesting that it dates from the mid 1980's. It plays super, even the top end.
I mostly play CC and F, but I love playing this tuba when I get the opportunity. I hope it doesn't raise a few hackles when I say that it produces a great "band sound" as opposed to a great "orchestra sound".
How long were they in production?
Thank you,
Kathott
