The International, Classic, and Stamm models are as good as any other pro level instrument by Bach or Yamaha, and the 609 and similar are great as a starter or backup instrument (or even your number one trumpet). Some are still available at closeout prices from shops. Many are unbeatable value on the used market at the moment. If you are looking for a great used horn include the Kanstul Bessons on your list. Kanstul has until recently kept the tradition of the Vintage Besson trumpets alive, and introduced some fine new models. Since we know that all Classic, Stamm, Meha, and Brevete models are Kanstul made there is no need to check their serial numbers. If you see a 6 digit or longer serial number on a French Besson trumpet IГўВЂВ™m guessing that it is not a Kanstul French Besson, but the 609 and similar models may have long serial numbers.

I suggest you either leave this model alone or make sure it has the Kanstul or USA markings. Besson BE800 model that is Kanstul made, and Ferguson music was selling a Kanstul 800 model in early 2008, so it appears that at least some of the 800 models are Kanstul made Internationals. For my money IГўВЂВ™m betting these are not Kanstul made ГўВЂВ“ if I get reliable information I will add it. They also are described as ГўВЂВњ BessonГўВЂВќ not ГўВЂВњF. Besson Internationals, and have an adjustable 3 rd slide pull instead of the fixed ring (well, assuming it is the correct picture). One picture I have seen looks different to known Kanstul F. I do not know if these are Kanstul made or not, but I have my suspicions. It is not listed on the current Besson website. There is a model called Besson International BE800 trumpet. 'Where, then, does the soul reside with its better body while it awaits the sound of the trumpet?'-Stephen J. BTW, my 1934 Meha's valves have the springs on the bottom and I think this may be characteristic of prewar models. It appears to be accurate for prewar bessons, mehas, and brevetes.
