Description: BESSON Professional Compensating 3V BBb Tuba This is the tuba you were warned about !! 17" bell--full Besson quality compensating system, coupled with Besson's flare for mellow tone--If you want a quality sound, this isthe tuba to produce it--sounds euphonium like in the upper register,yet sweet & mellow in the lower register--for the serious player, this tuba would be worth having the finish restored-- All slides pull/all valves have fast action & good compression Serial # 577708 ( circa mid-1970s ) Tuba has many smaller dents, none of which will affect the tone & sound These tubas can carry the load, and then some-- Comes with a Smaller European shank MP receiver ( but any repairman can replace it with an American receiver--I have done this on several of these over the years ) No case or MP, but I can supply a slightly used Pro-tec gig bag that will protect it well for $275.00. Just let me know before checkout. Stock # E100
