Besson
 

One of the greatest names in brass history, the Brighouse & Rastrick Band have recently taken delivery of a complete new set of Besson Sovereign cornets.

Besson sound

Having tested all brands on offer, they decided unanimously that it was the Besson cornet that gave them the sound, response, flexibility and intonation that they were looking for.

Principal Cornet, Stephen Wilkinson is very impressed and can hear a huge diffence from the sound of his section.

Response

The quality of manufacture and most importantly, the response from these instruments made the Besson cornet the clear winner for them.
