I used a Besson 981 for about 15 years and it is a wonderful big EEb tuba. Beautiful sound with super agility. It is a little thin in the compensating register (Bb below the staff to F) for large ensemble playing but if you are looking for a great tuba that plays pretty well in tune, it is very good. The Willson will give you more sound in the lowest registers but it is heavier and the ergonimics are a problem for some. (me included)

fwiw
