Band Supplies showcase Besson limited edition stock

Some of the special limited edition 180th anniversary Besson instruments are on display with Band Supplies this weekend — so be quick to get your hands on them before they go for good...

Besson
  The limited edition Besson 180th anniversary instruments are not to be missed.

The launch of the brand new limited edition Besson 180th anniversary instruments at the recent British Open Championship has all ready created a huge amount of customer demand — and you can make sure you can get your hands one by making sure you are in Cheltenham this weekend.

180 and no more

Band Supplies will be displaying some of the instruments — so you can both see and hear what they sound like.

There will only be 180 of these instruments ever produced — split between cornet, tenor horn, baritone, euphonium and EEb and BBb tubas.

All will be numbered and all will come with a certificate of authenticity from Besson. Once the 180 are gone — they will be gone for good.

Timeless look

The look will be familiar — with that timeless iconic stain finish, a fantastic special Denis Wick mouthpiece — and all topped by coming in one of those stunning 'Royal Blue' cases that stood out from the crowd.

So make sure you get to Cheltenham early and see what makes them so unique by heading straight to the Band Supplies trade stand.

Be pronto though — as they are not going to be around for long….
