The Besson Sovereign Eb Tenor Horn is the benchmark by which all tenor horns are measured. It has the perfect sound and enough power to fulfil any musical challenge. This isn't easy for such a small instrument, but the Sovereign tenor horn has a lead pipe that gives optimum results: free blowing, a big sound and exceptional sonority. In a brass band setting, the BE950 has the capabilities both to blend and have soloistic presence. Bore: 11.84mm (.466"). Bell Diameter: 203mm (8").
