This is a 1960's Besson with a medium shank mouthpiece receiver. It appears to be relatively dent-free but with quite a bit a lacquer wear. What this means is that you could buy the famous Besson tone and have an instrument that tunes from low E concert on up. You would of course not have the range between low Eb and pedal Bb. The horn has no case with it. The photos are blurred, but the 3 valves seem to be in good condition. Starting bid is $275 and shipping is $60. This could be a very nice buy if bidding does not get too high.
