Brevette?) was made in the early 1980s, and mentioned a 4XXX serial number, comparable to yours. Here is a.?The F. Besson Brevette (.415' bore) and Meha (.460' bore) flugels were built by Kanstul for Boosey and Hawkes roughly during the [19]80's and 90's, along with a range of F. Besson trumpets. Dec 8, 2013 - 5 min - Uploaded by Jonathan MilamVery nice horn from the '80's. A remake, by Kanstul, of the venerable old French Besson.

Hi all, Quick question for the group. I have a French MEHA trumpet (owned for about 15 years - bought it second hand) and I'm trying to find a little bit of background on the company and trying to find out how old it may be. I've taken it for valuations but no-one seems to know the make and its been valued between 500 pounds and about two thousand - go figure! If anyone has heard of the make or may be able to suggest how to date it etc I'd be grateful. It seems farily old - virtually no laquer left a few dents etc but they all add to the tone - its a wonderful instrument but with an unknown background. Any thoughts much appreciated Nick kev.@hotmail.com 03.04.00 00:00 TrmpTrim 04.04.00 00:00. Developmental Disabilities In Ontario 3rd Edition. I am under the impression that for F.

Besson Meha the cutoff point was about 92,500 for pre and post war horns made by the original Besson company in France. So, I would assume that an F. Besson Meha with a SN of 101XXX to be post war. The only published lists I have ever seen on the net were not for the French made horns, but rather the British horns that had a completely different serial number series.

Nick Boyer never came back with his serial or said whether or not his Besson was an old one made by the French company or a contemporary one made by Kanstul in the US. Another little bit of Besson trivia: The F. Besson stands for the name 'Fontaine' and not the word 'French.' M Magers NORGEFAR F1 2001 Rfactor Download For Free. 04.04.00 00:00.

The internet serial # tables for Bessons are for the English made Bessons - a separate company from French Besson - (F. Besson = Fontaine? Besson), which separated in late 1800's - some say to keep English assets out of French court where Besson was being sued by Adolph Sax heirs. Pre War II French Bessons have serial numbers below 92xxx - the exact point when production stopped in 1940 as Germans entered Paris is not known. 101xxx would be in early 1950s. I understand the factory burned down in early 1970s - maybe earlier - and Boosey Hawkes bought the rights to the name then.

It's also my understanding that at the time when the Germans entered Paris, the Besson trumpet parts were shipped to New York City, already stamped made in Paris France (etc.) and some trumpets were assembled in NY and sold throughout the country. I've also been told that Vincent Bach would go there and buy Besson parts and assemble trumpets, there by starting him in the trumpet business. I'm 99% certain this is correct.
