Product Description
Besson
The newly designed BE994 BBb Tuba retains the 483mm-19" inch diameter bell as the earlier model, but it is now shorter, putting the player completely in touch with this instrument's superb sound. From "pianissimo to the strongest fortissimo" Besson gives the musician an instrument that is unequaled in quality and performance. The BE994 Tuba demonstrates perfect intonation throughout the registers and provides an immense dynamic range and powerful low register.

Every description WWBW has given on this horn is absolutely true. Having played on tubas from Conn, Yamaha, king, Holton, Mirafone, and Meinl Weston, this Besson is truly the tops. I can hit notes from the top of the staff to pedals all with great ease. The slide action is amazing, to say the least. I can honestly say that I've never had to use valve oil on this horn. Plus they're insanely quiet. And the case is by far the best I've seen for any horn. It looks elegant and it really protects the horn well, AND it has wheels. Overall, if you're looking to buy an excellent horn and don't mind putting a little bit of money towards it, get this now!
