The owners of the French Besson trademark decided to make a new line of trumpet in the early 1980s. These original French Besson trumpets are now collectors items, and command high prices. The Besson Meha was also a very popular choice, being a brighter horn more suitable for lead and big band playing, played by the famous Conrad Gozzo and others. Most modern trumpets are in fact close copies or clones of early 20th century Besson instruments. Bach trumpets were inspired (or copied) from early Besson trumpets, and most modern trumpets closely follow the same pattern. The innovations in leadpipe design, bell shape, and wrap (the overall shape of the tubing and instrument) resulted in a far superior instrument to the trumpets of the day. The Besson trumpets of the early 20th century were the first truly modern trumpets. It has been played by many professional trumpet players.
This model was made by Kanstul in the 1980s. There is one small blemish in the silver which you can see in the photos.
