BESSON Day Thurs. 20 Nov ‘08 at Dillon Music

Post by Matt Walters »

Besson’s Brass Product Manager, Tim Ornato is going to be at Dillon Music in Woodbridge, NJ on Thursday, November 20, 2008 from 3 PM until closing at 8 PM. He is bringing the new Besson BE995-2 4/4 size CC tuba. Anyone in the North East here who did not get the chance to make it out to the last ITEC in Cincinatti, Ohio, can now try it out in person. I heard the final production horns are already in transit to the United States. There are some differences between this and older BE995 CC tubas so come try it for yourself.
Also on hand will be a wide selection of Besson Euphoniums to try. Both Prestige and Sovereign horns are in stock. Here is your chance to play test horns and talk directly with Tim Ornato about the current and future production horns at Besson.
If you need directions, email me directly: Matt@dillonmusic.com" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank

Hello Tim, a number of us have already tried this instrument and have posted our comments here.
Amongst aviators it is often said that any landing you can walk away from is a good landing. It's an even better landing when you can reuse the airplane.

Hey Tom,
I'd be interested in how you and Zerk would
compare this one to the Mira 188.
Thanks,
