Besson Prestige Cornet

£3,795.00

Brand New

Description

The Besson Prestige 2028 Bb cornet, with its fine array of impressive tone colours and centred tone, unique main tuning slide trigger, and striking gold plated triggers, water keys, finger buttons, and top/bottom caps, this is a stunningly fantastic instrument. Designed and continually refined by today’s leading players, the Prestige cornet provides endless possibilities.

It is a more focused and intense sound than the popular Sovereign cornet (BE928G) and responds to your wishes, however demanding they may be. It retains many of the playing characteristics of the old model 921 and Imperial Cornet so beloved by top players in the 70’s and 80’s but is also able to handle the demands of any of today’s modern repertoire.

Finished in bright silver plate with gold plated accents and features main & third valve slide tuning triggers, a 4.88″ hand hammered yellow brass bell and 0.466″ bore. Supplied in a deluxe Besson hard case with optional heavyweight finger buttons/bottom caps, lyre, cleaning cloth and valve oil.

Also available in clear lacquer finish to order. We have a demo instrument available in store to play test.

    Having not played for nearly 30 years I had the desire to play the cornet again. I am based in Qatar where there are very limited options to purchase any quality instruments. I wanted a Besson Sovereign and Duchy Brass had an ex demo available at a very reasonable price, offering a good saving on a brand new one. I did some reviews and Duchy Brass’s proven track record was reassuring, having supplied instruments to customers previously in  the USA and the Far East. Jenny’s assistance and service was excellent, with the parcel being delivered to me in Qatar in 4 days. Arrived all packaged securely and marked as fragile, thus ensuring the safe delivery. Got it straight out the case and played like I had hoped. Looks and feels like brand new. One very happy customer. Jenny’s willingness to discuss with me out of her normal business hours made the whole thing go smoothly. I would recommend Duchy Brass to anyone and in particular any overseas customers. Thank you Duchy Brass

    Happy New Year and I hope you had some nice time off. I just wanted to say how happy I am with the 967 Euphonium. I have much catch-up practising to do in order to do the quality of the euphonium justice, but having this fine quality instrument makes the task so much more pleasurable.  Thank you for your excellent service and this top quality instrument.

    Thanks again for the fabulous service and I'm very pleased with my instrument and the extras you provided, it's really got me off to a good start! As an added bonus I'm sure you'll appreciate is that our Greyhound thinks it's some kind of sorcery and goes into full play mode every time I play or even buzz so he's having a great time as well!  I look forward to doing business with you again in the future.
