Tried the instrument out a few weeks ago. It's a big instrument with not quite the tonesize to fit. A beautiful tone, though, but not quite what you want if you're looking for a full 6/4 kind of sound. Also, it plays out of tune in a bit annoying ways maybe needs a trigger or two to make things a bit easier. In a conversation with Jim Gourlay, he said he thought it is 'unfinished', needs more work put into it, but he cannot pursuade Besson to do that. Very good price, though; maybe an instrument for someone who needs one but cannot afford some of the more recognized makers of CC tubas.
