Unique custom euph deal at Band Supplies

Band Supplies has a one-off euphonium for sale — with a very special provenance...

Michael Dodd
 

Band Supplies has got its hands on Michael Dodd's fantastic custom built Besson Prestige BE2052-2-0 euphonium — and it could be yours if you are quick off the mark.

Grimethorpe star

The Grimethorpe's star recently took delivery of his new Besson Prestige euphonium in time to take on the band's trip to Australia, so Band Supplies has this one-off instrument, customised superbly with gunmetal accessories and a carbon-fibre belly guard, for immediate sale.

As you would expect from an instrument played by one of the world's finest exponents of the euphonium art, it is in fantastic condition, but will still undergo a comprehensive Band Supplies service.

Instrument history

It will also be provided with a Band Supplies letter of provenance — so you know the history of the instrument and will also come with a brand new Prestige case — and all for £4,000 (inc VAT).

It's a fantastic opportunity for a player to own a superb, unique instrument — so get in touch and book yourself a trialBand Supplies

Lead the way

Band Supplies Chris Tudball told 4BR: "Band Supplies continues to lead the way in sourcing and selling instruments of the very highest quality — new and used.

This is a fantastic example from a truly fantastic player — and by dealing directly with Michael we can trace the instrument's history right back to the Besson factory.

It's a fantastic opportunity for a player to own a superb, unique instrument — so get in touch and book yourself a trial."
