Opinions on new Besson 983/984 Eb tubas?

[AHynds]

Hello, everyone!

I am looking to add an Eb tuba to my arsenal of horns, and I'm curious to know if anyone out there has experience with the newer Besson 983 and 984 tubas. I don't know how the Besson tubas are doing, post-acquisition, but I've heard some really nice things about their euphoniums. It seems like there are a number of people out there that are happy with their older 983s, but I've heard little about the new ones. Any opinions on these horns would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Aaron H.
