I wonder why some many people compare it to the 981.... Isn't thecomp EEb a copy of the YEB-632. (Therefore, a copy of a copy)
Shouldn't we just compare it to that horn....
There were 981's... and there were 981's...
Over their long and storied history, Besson unfortunately had one of the widest ranges of quality of their instruments, from "world class" to birdbath.
Now, listening to Fletch or Patrick Harrild play one makes it all better!
Lectron you have been doubly unlucky in that firstly your Eb has not worn in as well as mine and secondly as you imported directly you have little or no easy recourse. Which is why I bought mine from an importer who speaks the same language as me and trades from a country whose consumer protection laws are both strong and relatively easy for me to use if the need had arisen.
Have you tried to claim any warranties yet?
Your posts mention that the factory was willing to work with you maybe they might send you some pistons.
If it will help I can measure my pistons and casings for you to compare with yours.
