Besson 600 Cornet

I have been playing my Besson 600 for about a year now and am very pleased with its playing ability and tone, it has the monel valves and 2 waterkeys and appears very similar to the BE927 except it does not have the 1st and 3rd valve triggers which I find OK as only top players really need them, it came with a lighter case which is fine and I can recommend this fine instrument very highly, I note it has been discontinued maybe they realised it was too good a buy at $1600.
