Besson BE983 Sovereign Tuba

"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"
