The Besson 2-20 euphonium was part of a student line back in the day.

The Besson 2-20 was a good beginner/low intermediate instrument. The Bundy euphonium from the 1960s to the 1980s is the same instrument, but with a more useful large shank receiver. The Besson 2-20 was made, as far as I can tell, from the early 1950s to the late 1970s/early 1980s. They have a lovely sound with some really crazy tuning, sometimes.
Any time at all is tuba time. Watch for the signs.
