BE980 Sovereign EEb Tuba

Besson says

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.
