Here is a Besson 945F Bb/F trombone in great shape. This is a pro-level Sovereign model. Made in England! Lightweight nickel slide! Two F-att slides, Yamaha-style. Horn is in great shape, slide works beautifully, and it's a solid player. Takes regular, large shank mouthpieces. Original case included. $1050 shipped.

This is still available. I spent some time on it over the past couple days. It is a NICE player! It does everything well, is comfortable to hold, and the handslide is quick. A LOT of horn for the money. $1050 includes FREE shipping within the US.

Off the market for now. I am going to play this one for a while.

These Bessons tend to be underrated in the USA, craftsmanship is always excellent. Wish I was in the market. Modern ones blend OK in American trb sections (the older ones, not so much).

Back on the market. I can't keep every horn I like!

$1050 shipped in the US

What are the differences between this and the more common 944? Just the nickel outers? I found some references to the 945 being dual bore, is that correct?

greenbean · by **greenbean** » 2022-10-22 10:45 a.m.

I am definitely the wrong guy to ask! Maybe someone who knows more about Bessons can chime in...

greenbean · by **greenbean** » 2023-02-23 1:40 p.m.

Still available! I missed the question above about it being a dual-bore. That is correct. Dual-bore slide 547/562.

This is now $1000 shipped in the US. UPS Ground fully insured.

Also, I would be happy to ship this to Europe for a small number of extra Euros.

Congrats!

And now I currently own a Besson 944R with a Hagmann valve! It is awesome!
