Description

Please note: these are referred to as tenor horns in many parts of the world. That is why the term "tenor horn" is used by Besson to refer to its product.

This is how Besson describes this lovely instrument

The ever-popular Besson Sovereign 950 Eb tenor horn is the classic model that has been the most impressive horn design for generations. It has been the mainstay of horn manufacturing for decades with its characteristic tubing configuration that gives you both tone and response in equal measure.

This model has evolved as a result of the collaboration of highly skilled specialists, both technical and musical, all contributing their knowledge and artistry. The choice of the Prestige or Sovereign horns is a choice the musician must make based on what tonal colors they prefer and how the air flows though the instrument. What is guaranteed is that you are choosing an instrument constructed from the finest raw materials and assembled with scrupulous attention to detail, using cutting edge technology and extensive expertise.
