I definitely do not recommend this mouthpiece for normal euphonium performance, but it sure was fun for what I was being asked to do. While I could hit a high-C above Bb, my high range pitch was not great. While I still do not have the presence of a real tuba in this low range, my fluency in the low range was greatly enhanced. Now I know why bass trombone players can hammer out the low range. I found myself able to "whack" out the oom-pahs on the marches and play from low Bb to pedal F with no embouchure shift. photo Besson Bass Trombone 110 year old besson and co prototype g bass trombone. I was given a bass trombone (Bach 1 1/2G) mouthpiece on Thursday night and used it to play "tuba" on my Besson 967 on Friday night. We Have got 30 pix about Besson Bass Trombone images, photos, pictures. While I practice in this low range every day as part of my daily range, I usually have to shift my embouchure when going into the pedal range to get best response. I always play the parts as written so spend most of my time in my 1st (pedal) or 2nd partial (4th valve range). After a very short spell using Schreiber parts, all Bessons were fully made in house at the 2 facilities and continue to. So over the last couple of years I have found myself frequently playing tuba parts as his substitute. Production moved to Besson plant in Croxley Green (Watford) where Schreiber parts were briefly used (Schreiber and Besson were part of the same company). He is a wonderful person in his 70's, and for a variety of reasons is forced to miss rehearsals and/or an occasional concert from time to time.
