Besson Brevette C Trumpet circa 1960-61. This is an English Besson Brevete trumpet in the key of C. This is a medium large bore horn making it a good choice for someone just starting to explore C trumpet, playing chamber music, or small orchestra. The sound of this horn is very bright. The lacquer has been removed leaving unfinished brass, which Renold Schilke determined was the best sounding finish for trumpets. If you are looking for an inexpensive solution for your needs, this provides a higher quality instrument than many of the low priced Chinese-made models currently offered. The case is original and well worn but functional.
