This is an English made Besson BE928 cornet. Made in the early 2000s shortly before Besson was acquired by Buffet Group and production was moved to Germany.
The condition is very good with the silver plate finish in very nice condition. There is little evidence of dent repair. It has just been serviced and cleaned, ready for a new owner.
"The Sovereign 928 cornet has been the established benchmark against which all top line cornets are measured. Both amateur and professional players adore this instrument with its rich open sound, giving every cornet section a singing vibrant sound that makes bands so exciting to listen to.
Steps are continually taken to improve its already superior build quality. Many of the world’s leading brass bands choose and trust the Besson Sovereign cornet."
