Besson B&H 300?????

Ian000450 · 11-07-2009, 10:21 PM

I went to craigslist to look for a trumpet. I found a new post about a Besson "B&H 300" silver trumpet. I went to brass review and found nothing at all. I really need info on this. Link: Besson "B&H 300" Silver Trumpet- Like New

I know the pics are terrible.

Thanks!

I fear you won't find out much over here unless someone else has one.
I checked Ebay UK and found a B & H 400 model. The add said it was made in the Czech Republic for B & H. That may, or may not, apply to the 300. It had bid of 42 pounds with 13 hours to go. Looks like a typical student trumpet. Czechs under various governments have made contract instruments for close to 100yrs. I would try to get the details on how and when this seller got it and any papers to prove what he paid for it. I don't find any information or mention of a 300 model on the web . It may have been new 5-6 yrs ago and supplanted by the 400. Possibly it was made in the Czech Republic also.
