Product Description

Besson tubas have laid the musical foundation stones of the brass and wind bands of many countries of the world for more than one hundred years and with this tradition and reputation comes a responsibility to maintain this wonderful tradition.
The full range of Besson Tubas in Eb, Bb and C have all undergone small design changes and these modifications allied to technological advances have elevated them all to a higher level of possibilities for the tuba, or if you prefer, bass players. Besson tubas, by design possess a rich vibrating tone, a resonating warm sonority that sets them apart from many ‘brighter’ sounding instruments on the market. The quality raw materials used and precision engineering with attention to the smallest of details means you’re guaranteed a perfect instrument, right out of the case.

We think:
The Besson BE982 Sovereign 4 Valve Compensating EEb Tuba has been a favorite of British Brass Band musicians for many years. The Besson 982 Sovereign EEb Tuba features a compensating 4 top action valve design to bring the lower register in tune plus a high position leadpipe for the marching band and is fitted with carriage rings and a lyre holder for comfort and convenience. The Besson Sovereign 982 EEb Tuba leadpipe is slightly narrower, to produce a brighter, clear tone. The Besson BE982 Sovereign EEb Tuba includes a case and mouthpiece and is in silver laquer finish.
