Besson Prestige 2051 Euphonium

About this instrument

The Besson Prestige 2051 is the euphonium that serious players dream about. It sits at the very top of Besson's range, and it has earned a reputation in brass bands and solo competitions worldwide for its rich, resonant tone and almost effortless response. If you have played one before, you already know. If you have not, it is the kind of instrument that makes you wonder what you have been missing.

This instrument is in approximately 8.5 out of 10 condition. It has been played, but well cared for. You can expect minor cosmetic signs of use on the silver plating, but nothing that affects the playing experience. The valves are tight, the slides move freely, and the sound is everything you would expect from a Prestige.

Included are an Alliance mouthpiece, a shaped case with protective cover, and an external accessory pouch. At RM40,000, this is a significant investment, but consider that these instruments retail for considerably more new. You are getting the signature Besson warmth and playability at a price that reflects real value for a top-tier professional euphonium.
