Besson New Standard BE164 euphonium - as new with case

I play C-tuned low brass, so I have not made use of this marvelous sounding Besson compensating Bb euphonium. (Instead, I use an extremely rare Amati C-tuned euphonium from the 1980s, still looking brand new!)

The only time I've even played this Bb Besson was to test out the tone, and it really is something! I hate to give it up, but I'm just not using it, since I have a C valve trombone and a really nice CC tuba; plus I perform more on keyboards. So, this is your chance to grab a beautiful, spotless high class instrument at a very good price.

Comes with a case that is a hard gig bag, with wheels. The back straps for the hooks on the back are stored in the case pouch. Included is a Conn 5G mouthpiece (needs cleaning).

Valves are nice and loose as they should be, all slides move freely.

Here is an apt assessment I found on the internet about the Besson "New Standard" line:

Besson introduced its "New Standard" euphoniums in the early 1970s. These instruments are known for their hand-built quality and rich tonal characteristics, becoming popular among musicians for their distinctive response and fully compensating system, which helps maintain accurate pitch in lower notes.
