I know that this horn is in production again and WWBW carries it (through order I believe). What other stores carry it and does any have them in stock to test play a few ( or just 1 if that's all they have).
Thanks!

If you can't find a Besson 995, the Walter Nirschl WN15 is a very similar horn, because Herr Nirschl did the basic design for the 995, evidently liking it enough to build basically the same horn in his own shop.

Where abouts in Canada? I'm in Michigan, so a venture out of country wouldn't be terribly daunting.

Well I'm just in the market to look around and try out some......by the time I'm able to actually buy one, I'd HOPE his would be gone.Scooby Tuba wrote:For that matter, Andy Smith is selling a 995 and I know it to be a good one. Buy his. It's good and cheap...pierso20 wrote:I know that this horn is in production again and WWBW carries it (through order I believe).
