Trumpet - Silver plated Kanstul built French Besson Classic


Expert: Mike Pawul - 7/7/2009

Question
I am looking at getting this horn for my son, He now has a Yamaha 2335 student horn, He has been playing for 2 years now and really seems to like it.
This horn has the Najoom lead pipe and is ser# 55xx the factory said it was a 460 bore horn but it is stamped 462???

Answer
Robert, The key to the question is the Najoom lead pipe. It is a different horn than the normal Classic model. The bore is .462 and it is a model 262-1 or 262-2. Here is a link for the details on Brass Review: http://www.brassreview.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/2613/sort/8/cat/110/p...

They are great players and very solid.
