Designed at the start of this millennium, and now built by skilled artisans in Germany, the PRESTIGE has been the latest expression of our heritage, with the modern musician at heart who demands both tradition and performance without compromise.
After several years of research and development, alongside the godfather of the Cornet, Roger Webster, and two of his contemporaries Tom Smith, UK and Lode Violet, Belgium. Together they have been instrumental in this new and improved PRESTIGE Cornet, to deliver a more powerful, focused sound with exceptional projection. These revisions, look to provide the already admirable PRESTIGE with an even more elegant aesthetic, a slight modified taper, reversed 1st and 3rd slides and larger bell.
Musicians will immediately feel the remarkable comfort and balance, allowing effortless control across all registers and crystal clear articulation. All aiding players with that intimate connection with their instrument, connecting them with every nuance of their PERFORMANCE whilst enhancing, the warmth and character that defines that classic BESSON sound.
