Questions about Besson cornet

Hi all,
I'm a new member and I have a couple of questions. I've got a made in France F. Besson Brevete Bb cornet with a serial number 88486. Anyone have any information on the age? Does anyone know about the Olds 7s cornet mouthpiece and its characteristics?
Thanks,
Tom Grigsby

Hi Tom, The list I have for French Besson's would place your horn in the 1934-37 range. I don't know about an Olds 7s, haven't heard of that model.

Re: Questions about Besson cornet

Thanks for the info on the aging Besson ... we're both about the same age. It, however, plays better than I.
Tom

Hi Tom, and welcome to TM! Are you here to stay and play, or to sell?
