The Besson Prestige BE2050 tenor horn is a professional-level instrument, widely regarded as the market leader in tenor horn design. Built to meet the demands of the modern-day player, it combines the renowned qualities of the BE950 with numerous enhancements that set it apart. The addition of a main tuning slide trigger is one of the key innovations, providing players with greater precision and control over intonation.
Recent modifications to the lead pipe and the ergonomics of the trigger position have further improved the playability, ensuring the Prestige BE2050 remains a favourite among tenor horn enthusiasts. Its luxuriant, opulent tone seamlessly blends both sides of the brass band, offering a rich, cohesive sound that is both powerful and refined.
The Prestige BE2050 delivers an exceptional range of tonal colours. From the softest, whispering pianissimo to broad mezzo dynamics and powerful fortissimos, this horn maintains its tonal beauty and elegance across the entire dynamic spectrum. Whether performing delicate solos or blending within a brass ensemble, the Prestige BE2050 offers unmatched versatility and expressiveness.
In addition to its superb acoustic qualities, the Prestige BE2050 boasts an elegant design with gold-plated finger buttons, caps, triggers, and water keys, adding a touch of sophistication. The hand-hammered bell and meticulous craftsmanship ensure that this instrument not only sounds exceptional but looks stunning on stage.
Always leading the way with research and development, Besson cornets allow the player to adapt effortlessly between the ever increasing stylistic demands. The Sovereign cornets have evolved gradually over the past decades to possess the true Besson sound. Since joining the Buffet Crampon group in 2006, new tooling has been implemented and laser measuring of past models has taken place. This reference to older models ensures that the original designs and ethos of the Besson sound are accurately respected and represented.
