BBb for british style brass band?

Posted by Rob Suttie on May 26, 2001 at 11:04:06:

Our Brass band is looking at getting a new BBb Tuba. It will be replacing a 3 valve compensating Besson. The rest of our Bass section consists of 2 Besson 982 EEbs and 1 Besson 994 BBb. We are most probably going to get another Besson 994, but I was wondering if there are any alternatives for a similar or better price? Blending well with the current section is of major importance. Must have at least 4 valves also. Most of the other instruments in the band are also Bessons.
Thanks,
