The Besson BE980
EEb Tuba is an exceptional professional instrument. It has
the same layout as the 981/ 982 tuba but with a 17" bell.
The playing characteristics are more in line with the front
valved 983 tuba. The sound is very well centred and focused,
clear and direct. This tuba is a very good choice for the
soloist who prefers the brass band style valve layout.
