【Features】 The engraving says Boosey, but the instrument is essentially a Besson Sovereign. It has a tone that combines the warmth of Boosey with the brilliance of Besson, with excellent sound projection from top to bottom, making it easy to play. Highly recommended for advanced players, but also suitable for junior high and high school students. Parents considering purchasing an instrument for their children, please consider this! The large bell provides a wide range of expression, suitable for solo performances, ensembles, and large ensemble playing. 【History】 A certain professional musician owned this instrument for many years as the first owner, and I (a music university graduate majoring in euphonium) have owned it as the second owner since last fall. 【Condition】 The instrument is in good condition. The pistons and slides are not stuck. There are a few very small dents that were present when I acquired the instrument. Some have been neatly repaired. None of these affect the function or performance of the instrument. The plating on the 4th valve slide had some lifting, so I had it smoothed out at a workshop. As a result, some of the brass underneath the plating is visible. This also does not affect the function or performance. The felts were replaced last fall, and the corks were replaced this spring. 【Modifications After Acquisition】 To secure space for the left thumb, I had the music stand base on the 3rd valve slide removed at a workshop. I have kept the removed base and will include it. Also, the shell (mother-of-pearl) parts of the 1st to 3rd valve buttons have been replaced with genuine Prestige buttons (resin). A copper coin has been attached to the 4th valve button for sound adjustment. Mead springs have been installed for the valve springs. 【Accessories】 C.C. Shiny Case II (New, Prototype, White, with 2 strap belts) Cushion adjusted to fit the instrument. There are traces of glue on the interior due to it being a prototype. Bach 5G Mouthpiece (Custom model with 800 backbore) Marcus Bonna Mouthpiece Case (Leather case for 2 mouthpieces) Oil, Grease (Used / Small amount of oil remaining) 【Finally】 This instrument has been treated with care. It will be carefully packed and delivered safely. WILLSON WILSON Willson BESSON BOOSEY & HAWKS Boosey & Hawkes B&H BE 968 BE 967 YAMAHA Yamaha YEP 642S YEP 842S Sovereign
