Besson 967 Sovereign Series Compensating Euphonium - Silver-Plated

Play with a Classic Sound and Tone - Besson 967 Sovereign Series Compensating Euphonium - Silver-Plated

The Sovereign 967 euphoniums with their lively response, “classic” Besson tone and wonderful valve action are known and trusted by players all over the world. Sovereign euphoniums are slightly lighter in weight than the Prestige models, providing a very open and free-blowing feel with an immediacy of response that appeals to many musicians. All the Sovereign models are large bore four-valve compensating instruments, with the bell size of the 968 slightly smaller than the 967. This model is proving to be a very exciting and popular addition to the Besson range. Sovereign euphoniums have a facility and versatility that make them highly sought-after, and like all the Besson brass range, have benefited greatly from developments in valve technology since production commenced in Germany.
