Among these are the gracefully designed, expertly constructed tubing and perfectly proportioned bells that give them their flawless performance qualities. In addition, these distinguished basses feature Besson’s patented Automatic compensating system, the ingenious, automatic system that greatly minimizes the possibility of faulty intonation.â€

Owner said, "This is a large, full size tuba, the same size as the popular Yamaha YBB321, but built of heavier metal. I have played a couple of tubas that were larger, but this is by far the heaviest. I am sure thats what gives this horn its warm resonant sound. "
