Besson 180th Anniversary Baritone Horn, brand new and unused. This commemorative model saw a total of 180 instruments produced, including cornets, alto horns, baritone horns, euphoniums, and tubas. Of these, only 20 baritone horns were made worldwide, and this model was never released in Japan. The baritone horn is an essential instrument in brass bands (British-style brass bands), and it has a brighter tone than the euphonium. The base model is the BE-955, featuring Besson's signature satin silver finish, and the serial number is also special. This instrument may be the 13th one produced. Included accessories are a limited edition case (royal blue), a limited edition mouthpiece (gold-plated rim, satin silver elsewhere), a protective bag, a cleaning cloth, a lyre (music holder), valve oil, and an instruction manual. This instrument was purchased directly from the UK. The standard BE-955 has a domestic list price of 1,005,400 yen, and considering that a similar 3-piston competition model from Yamaha is priced at 726,000 yen, this is a very good deal. (Currently, the exchange rate is around 198 yen to the pound, and the yen is actually quite weak compared to the dollar.) I remember that only the mouthpieces, cornets, and euphoniums were sold domestically. Why not become the owner of one of only 20 in the world? Please be sure to ask any questions before bidding. Shipping costs will be covered by us. Hand delivery is also possible if you are nearby. Thank you.
