$4,995.00

Besson Prodige euphoniums provide an excellent start to aspiring euphonium players. These instruments are non-compensating and feature a large shank receiver, bottom springs and a valve water catcher as standard. The handmade brass bell and gold brass leadpipe contribute to a rich, warm, centred tone. The Besson BE165 has 4 stainless steel valves that give more possibilities for the low register (3 on the right hand and 1 on the left hand)

Besson Prodige euphoniums are free blowing with an ease of tone production, an even response throughout the registers, and a reliable, fast and quiet valve action. Renowned for its comfortable embouchure and finger position, the Prodige Euphonium is supplied with a wheeled case as standard. Silver Plated finish.
