Fantastic Value and Quality

I have played Besson Sovereigns for years but when it came to having to finance a new BBb tuba myself I had to think long and hard. I had bought another ‘budget’ BB in recent years and wasn’t impressed.
Having sounded out other owners I took the plunge and went for the 278. Well, from the outset I’m astonished. This instrument is beautifully manufactured, is solid and substantial and the tuning is first class. I’ve never looked back and would thoroughly recommend this instrument.
Well done Packer

Why go elsewhere?

We bought one of these for our son when he ended his association with a music group and the one he was borrowing needed to be returned. He's had it now for 9 months and is absolutely bowled over with it. He says it's easy to play, the valves are responsive, the tone is fantastic and people who hear it say it sounds really rounded. I know nothing so don't ask me, but it does sound damn good! Great customer service from Steve, he'll see you right. Don't look any further - this is great.
