Non-compensating instruments, especially tubas, often add a fifth valve to correct this tuning problem. With the compensating system, there is a fingering for low B, so you get a fully chromatic low range with only four valves. On non-compensating instruments, low notes with the fourth valve are usually fingered one half step lower to compensate for the sharper pitch from low Eb down. This allows the use of the mid-range fingerings (plus the fourth valve) to play low notes. This extra tubing corrects the pitch when playing low, without altering the tuning of the mid and upper registers. This item can be shipped to United States.

This instrument review was with a Monette BT 2L mouthpiece.Ī compensating euphonium is a British design that “compensates” for the increasingly sharp pitch encountered in the low register. The Besson 968S is a very beautiful euphonium to play in every musical situation." Besson has long been the standard in euphoniums and I see why. The compensating system is wonderful for the low range, allowing excellent pitch and a fully chromatic scale with only four valves. I find these notes fairly easy to correct for on my Besson without having the main tuning slide trigger mechanism. Compensating euphoniums are notorious for Eb, E, and F above the staff being quite sharp, with A above that being rather flat. I find the projection on the 968 to be quite excellent as well.
It is a very responsive and flexible instrument that feels lighter to me than a Wilson or Yamaha, both to play and hold.

I prefer the 11 inch bell, which helps keep the tone focused and clear while still having a big, full sound. I found the Besson 968 to have many of the qualities I liked in the Yamaha 321 with several advantages of its own. It has a focus of tone and clarity with even intonation that I have always liked. "For many years I played a Yamaha 321 euphonium.
