INSTRUMENTS

These instruments will be finished with a classy frosted/satin silverplate body, bright silver plated tuning slides, finishing parts and inner bell.

This finish was part of our brand image in the 70’s and 80’s and we are proud to present it to you for this limited edition.

We are also proud to present for the first time on this limited series, the renewed “Besson London” brand logo engraved on the bell.
This logo will be used on all production instruments from 2018 on.
Every single instrument in this limited series will also have a special engraving on the side of the bell to commemorate the 180th anniversary.
