Besson 787 SOLD at Baltimore Brass- $1250

[Heavy_Metal]

Selling my little Besson. It was made in 1991, in England, and Baltimore Brass has maintained it since I've owned it.

The 787 is a small (a bit less than 3/4) top-action 3-piston BBb that plays bigger than it looks. I've played it in the band, brass ensemble and at TubaChristmas. I had a thumb ring added to it to steady my hand while playing. The lacquer is in good shape on the bell but is not 100% toward the bottom, due to some dent work BBC did. I never got around to doing the lacquer.

This tuba would work well for a student, or an adult who has trouble lifting a larger tuba. If you're so inclined, it might even be possible to add a 4th valve to it, but since I got the Mahillon there's no need for me to look into that.

What you get:

Besson 787

Original hard case with wheels- in good shape and easy to roll

A couple Conn sousaphone bits so you can adjust the mouthpiece position

and a Tuba Exchange Helleberg mouthpiece.

Baltimore Brass now has this up on their site:
