Besson 2-20: Made in England in 1967.

The English-made 2-20 is a very under-rated model. It is classified as an "Intermediate" level horn, but has many of the awesome features of the professional level 10-10 (minus the triggers). For instance the nickel-silver outer slides (found on pro-line horns) fight corrosion by eliminating brass-on-brass contact.

In 1967, Besson went to a 5" bell. This horn is an outstanding player with classic sound and blow. The valves are fast and have excellent compression.
