French Besson Brevete flugelhorn, vintage. Based on the serial number (#48495), it is estimated to be from between 1890 and 1895. (From the following site: https://www.adams-music.com/en/repair-and-maintenance/serial-numbers/besson) I purchased it used in 2019 from a brass instrument specialty store. The purchase price at the time was 450,000 yen. Although it is an old instrument over 130 years old, I purchased it because it had a particularly good sound and rich tone among the flugelhorns I tried. Because it is unlacquered, there is some rust on the hand-held parts, and due to its age, there is a slight crack in the third slide. The mouthpiece pipe seems to have been replaced with a new one. It has the GR mark, and I believe it is this product. https://www.grmouthpieces.com/product-p/fl-leadpipe.htm Mouthpieces such as Yamaha and Giardinelli fit, and I think French shank mouthpieces will not fit. The other slides and pistons are original. I could keep it as a collection, but I bought it because I loved the sound, and I regret that I no longer have the opportunity to play it because I switched to an orchestra. I am considering selling it to someone who will play it. There is no case, so I will pack it carefully and ship it. It is a valuable instrument, and I would be happy if someone who appreciates its value would play it. I hope you will consider this opportunity. #Flugelhorn #Besson #GR
