"The Besson
Sovereign BE983 Tuba is the EEb counterpart to the Besson
Sovereign BE993 BBb Tuba. Like the BE993, the BE983 has front
action valves for improved comfort. Bottom sprung valves and
a spring damper set work together to create more efficient
and quiet valve action. The BE983 is fully compensating, improving
the intonation of not only the low register, but the full
range of the instrument. Available in lacquer or silver plate,
the BE983 not only sounds incredible, it looks beautiful too"
