Vintage professional quality and Besson Compensating System! This particular instrument was made during the Besson "Golden Years" around 1975, and this model design later became the Sovereign model with the "Round/Globe stamp" when Besson and B&H introduced official model names after 1975. It plays with the popular dark and full tone other manufacturers attempts to imitate, and continues to be popular with professionals. While it currently plays well overall, this would be a great candidate for a valve rebuild for many more years of professional use.
