If you can live without the 4th valve, and like the way it plays, it would be worth it. Boosey & Hawkes no longer puts their name on instruments and only sells under the Besson name. They used to sell essentially the same model horns with both the Besson and Boosey & Hawkes name. Some have claimed that the Boosey & Hawkes versions were better made, but I think that is just anecdotal. You can check their web site at www.boosey.com
