Besson Prestige BE2028-2-0 BB Cornet in Silver

The Besson Prestige BE2028 Cornet has a redesigned valve block and a fully adjustable microball main tuning slide trigger. It possesses many of the playing characteristics of the old 921's and original International Cornets so loved in the 1970's.

This is the instrument of choice for both soloists and top bands.

"These instruments are fantastic! The feeling of total quality takes me back to the 70's and 80's when the only instrument worth having as a Besson… well in my opinion… it is once again." Roger Webster
