Ack! I've been playing a Besson sovereign on loan for a few years in a British style brass band..now about to purchase it, hopefully, and next month Owen is expected in my state and to do a master class with my band ! Eeek! ❤️
@k0smon It plays a tenor part in the brass band world but it plays in Eb which corresponds to the alto saxophone. A tenor saxophone is in Bb. There is therefore less danger of confusion to call it an alto horn.
besson com /en/dealers.php you can search for you local dealer at their website. i myself have a besson euphonium that costs approximately 9000 dollars. my guess is that you could get professional level tenor horn by besson for around 4000 dollars or slightly less. cheers.
It's good that the instruments are looked at and played by someone who knows what they're doing. But honestly, how many do you think are rejected? Of course, blems or seconds do turn up in just about every manufactured product. But, I imagine that's something that only happens with Besson Tenor Horns once every two or three years, if that. I play a Yamaha Neo, and I can tell you that what's happening on my side of the mouthpiece is always the problem. Not the horn.
In the U.S., in brass bands, the Bb trumpets/cornets play what is considered the soprano parts. Next down in the tone range are the Eb/F horns, playing what are considered the alto parts; below that is the tenor range, covered by the trombones/baritones, so that's why it's called an alto horn in the U.S.. In the U.K. the soprano parts are covered by the higher Eb cornets/trumpets. The Bb trumpets/cornets cover what is considered the alto parts, and the Eb horns an octave below the cornets/trumpets cover what is considered the tenor parts, so that's why it's called a tenor horn in the U.K.
No, but considering he is wearing gloves to stop oil from his hands marring the instrument I would have thought common sense would tell him to take off any sharp objects before it comes too close to the brand spanking new instrument that he is testing.

Why are they alto horns in the USA but tenor horns in the UK?

Cuando cuesta vrgs
I want those fingers
Why don't I sound that good?
Tries to tune an instrument... uses vibrato.
Wears gloves but has a metal watch on that ain't even covered...
Good thing he doesn't hold it with his wrists....
I can hear the noise of the watch against the instrument!
No, but considering he is wearing gloves to stop oil from his hands marring the instrument I would have thought common sense would tell him to take off any sharp objects before it comes too close to the brand spanking new instrument that he is testing.
why the hell is he making the instroments... HE SHOULD BE PLAYING!
