Besson 788
I have a Besson 788 in near perfect condition. It comes with the hard case mouthpiece and both lead pipes. I would like to get $1500 or best offer.

Nice little- and I do mean little- BBb. I have a 787 which looks essentially similar but doesn't have the dual-leadpipe setup.

Re: Besson 788
Smaller than that. But very efficient- I've played mine at band rehearsal and it did surprisingly well.
ISTR someone was looking for such a tuba not long ago- this might be a good choice for them.
