The Besson Sovereign
BE983 Tuba is the EEb counterpart to the Besson Sovereign
BE993 BBb Tuba. Like the BE993, the BE983 has front action
valves for improved comfort. Bottom sprung valves and a spring
damper set work together to create more efficient and quiet
valve action. The BE983 is fully compensating, improving the
intonation of not only the low register, but the full range
of the instrument. Available in lacquer or silver plate, the
BE983 not only sounds incredible, it looks beautiful too.
