Excellent projection from the 12" bell. Single-brace connection between receiver and bell allows for free vibration and enhanced tone. Spring damper set creates quieter valve action.Besson International brass instruments have long been popular with brass bands. In fact, much modern brass band repertoire has been written with the International sound in mind. Such quality construction features as super-high-quality brass, stainless steel pistons for corrosion-free smooth action, synthetic rubber water key seals, computerized bell spinning for tonal consistency, and hydraulically bent tubes for perfectly smooth bores have earned Besson a sterling reputation.
