The Besson ‘Prodige’ Euphonium has everything the advancing euphonium player needs to bring their sound and playing to the next level.

More details from Besson (www.besson.com):

The 3 + 1 non-compensating system helps the student learn about what a compensating system feels like without adding too much weight to the horn. The Prodige also features a large shank receiver which allows the student to push more air through the instrument from their beginner model. A water catcher which is featured on the Besson professional models is also included on the Prodige euphonium. A lightweight case with wheels and backpack straps completes this outfit.

  • Key: Bb
  • Bore: .580”
  • 3 stainless steel valves (3 + 1, Non- Compensating)
  • Bell: 11” Yellow Brass
