Besson 180th Anniversary Edition Sovereign Cornet

Description

For their 180th Anniversary in 2017 Besson made 180 special edition instruments split between different models, including 70 sovereign cornets.
This cornet features a stunning silver satin finish with polished silver trim, tuning slides, and inner bell.
With triggered third valve slide and main tuning slide you can have much greater control over the fine tuning of this instrument that many other cornets would allow.

The anniversary line also featured the new Besson logo that is now standard on all instruments.

The cornet is housed in a beautiful case, calling back to Bessons original 'Royal Blue' case colour.

Also included is a Denis Wick mouthpiece (3B) which is also coated in the lovely satin finished and adorned with a gold plated rim.
