Besson BE165 Prodige Non-compensating Euphonium

Description: A Non-compensating, 3+1 Euphonium Design from Besson Quality sound and playing comfort are top priorities for Besson. That’s why musicians at Sweetwater are thrilled to recommend the BE165 Prodige euphonium for passionate euphonium players. The BE165 is loaded with prim and practical features, such as an ergonomic, stainless steel 3-valve configuration and a tone-stabilizing 0.580-inch bore. Additionally, this horn boasts an 11-inch yellow brass bell. At just an inch smaller in diameter than a professional euphonium bell, this bell helps developing players get a full-bodied tone without the unnecessary weight and cost of a 12-inch bell. Though it sports the 3+1 valve design commonly associated with compensating euphoniums, the BE165 is a non-compensating horn, meaning it doesn’t include any extra tubing. This keeps the horn light and responsive, empowering players to focus on refining technical skills they can transfer to a true professional horn later on.

It’s easy to play with an incredibly versatile sound; a yellow brass body and upright 11-inch bell create a warm, robust tone that’s an excellent fit for all ensembles, whether large or small. Additionally, its well-balanced body leaves the player free to practice their instrument instead of fighting to keep it in place. But that’s not all, because this model boasts four valves — three standard valves plus one additional valve — for alternative fingerings and reliable performance in the low range.Enhanced durability for long-lasting performance Not only does the BE162 support proper development for the player, but it is also built to withstand the accidental yet inevitable bumps and scratches. For just a fraction of the cost of a professional euphonium, the BE162 offers the durability of a beginner instrument and the quality of a lifelong, professional horn. Its stainless steel valves move smoothly and stand up to plenty of use. Plus, the BE162 is finished with magnificent silver plating that strengthens and brightens the player’s sound, helping them support large ensembles.Besson: reflecting the utmost in design, sound, and quality Gustave-Auguste Besson launched the Besson brand in 1837, in Paris, France. The company was ultimately responsible for crafting revolutionary instruments that surpassed all others of their day. While Gustave has been lauded for his alternations to the cornet, his ingenuity wasn't limited to that single instrument. In fact, Gustave contributed more than 50 groundbreaking inventions to the brass world. Modern Besson instruments carry this untouchable legacy forward, with cornets, tenor horns, euphoniums, tubas, French horns, and baritone horns all reflecting the utmost in design, sound, and quality.Besson BE165 Features: Non-compensating Bb euphonium with a 3+1 valve system Ergonomic design encourages proper technique and development 4 (3+1) stainless steel valves offer reliable performance and access to the low range 0.580-inch bore provides proper breath support Handmade 11-inch yellow brass bell offers excellent projection and tone Lightweight yellow brass body facilitates an open, free-blowing feel and immediate response Large shank receiver suits most standard euphonium mouthpieces Includes 2 water keys and a removable water catcher Comes equipped with a Large Shank Faxx 5G mouthpiece and zippered case SpecificationDetail Type Non-compensating Key Bb Level Student Finish Silver-plated Bore 0.580" Valves 4 x Stainless Steel Pistons (3+1) Bell Material Yellow Brass Bell Size 11" Mouthpiece Faxx 5G Shank Large Additional Features Removable Water Catcher, Fixed Lyre Box, 3 x Waterkeys Case/Gig Bag Hardshell Case with Zippers RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
