Besson is delighted at the initial responses to the new BE955 Sovereign baritones, which are now in full production and quickly reaching their way to some of the finest players in the world.

All new

After many months of planning, which involved rebuilding the instrument completely with all new parts, it seems the attention to detail which is the hallmark of the new Besson instruments has really paid off.

Great demand

The 955 is the compensating three valve model, the preferred choice of the huge majority of brass band players everywhere and it’s sure that the new instrument is going to be in great demand.

Improved

Whilst it appears very similar to the older Besson Sovereign 955, this instrument has proved to be much more responsive and resonant particularly in the higher and lower registers, and has much improved tuning. In the past several notes on the baritone were notoriously difficult, particularly middle A flat, middle D and high A.
