Besson BE2051 Prestige Euphonium
7000/6400
Year Manufactured: 2010
Specs:
-4 valve compensating euphonium
-Whammy bar to adjust tuning on the fly
-Silver plating

Playability:5/5. The whammy bar is quite possibly the best thing ever for notes that tend sharp (G, anything above E-flat usually), and it makes this one of the greatest instruments I have ever played. The notes all feel like they "slot" correctly, and the response is quite easy and immediate

Sound: 5/5 even with the included mouthpiece, the instrument has a beautiful and full sound. Definitely not piercing by default, and the slightly smaller bell makes this a great solo or wind ensemble instrument.

Equipment Quality: 5/5 it's loving besson, what do you expect?

Usefullness: 5/5 much needed improvement over my prior Euph, and it provides all of the functions you could want out of one.

Overall Value: 5/5 although the pricetag is quite steep, this is one of the top (if not the top) euphonium currently on the market. Besson continues to make some of the best instruments in the brass world, and this thing is no exception
