Besson’s new Prodige baritone builds on the history of solid, great sounding student instruments, from the International range to the 1000 series and now to the 157 Prodige model. The Prodige range offers a high quality and competitively priced option for beginner players.
The BE157 baritone has a rich sound and great intonation throughout the range. It’s smaller and lighter than other student models and in bright silver plate, looks great. This particular model is in good overall condition, no evidence of any dents or knocks on the baritone. There is a bit of surface scratching around the 3rd valve slide, but nothing untoward.
The baritone is also supplied in a lightweight, hard wearing zippered case with a backpack strap option. The mouthpiece supplied is a Besson 9.
