Here's what information I could find: A light-weight, free blowing instrument, the Besson BE765 Euphonium is well suited for every type of player. Whether playing a lyrical phrase or negotiating trickier passages, the euphonium's even response and minimal resistance allow the musician to perform with ease. The Besson 700 series euphoniums have benefited from Besson's research to improve the Sovereign model Euphoniums. The BE765 euphoniums share a lot of the same parts as the Sovereign euphoniums, and most of the quality. These more affordable instruments from Besson have that 'Besson' sound about them, they are built to last.Specifications Key: Bb Bore: 14.73mm (.580") Bell diameter: 284mm (11") Weight: 4 kg (8lb 13oz) Valves: 4 Stainless steel bottom sprung Delrin valve guides Water keys: 2 Finish: bright silver plate   I can try my best to answer any questions about it. All four valves are free-moving, there are a couple tiny dents at the very bottom bend, and there is some slight tarnish around the crooks that can be polished out.   I accept paypal, but would prefer payment by cashiers check, personal check, or goog1e.
