Who is 'Roy Benson" and why does his name on a horn mean anything?

Notice their ambiguity: "Designed after the 186 series of Germany's most famous tuba makers..." That's kinda up for debate, isn't it?

as in: "pretty ugly", "virtual reality" or "military intelligence"?
Or my favorite (since retiring from the FAA), "a near miss".
