"The Besson
BE981 EEb Tuba is an exceptional professional instrument.
Constructed with a larger bore mouthpipe, the tuba produces
a wider symphonic tone. Considered a "concert" model, the
Besson Sovereign 981 tuba is designed for playing in the seated
position. A lower position mouthpipe offers comfort to the
symphonic player whether they be playing in a concert band
or symphony orchestra"
