Description

French Besson Brevette Sn/ 94627 No Case / No Mouthpiece

This horn is in original shape.  No patches, dents, dings, or trauma. …………  as can be expected for a 80 year old horn the valves hold little or no compression. The valves work really well and a “Valve Rebuild” will

probably cost you $700 to $1200 depending on who you go to.

The French Besson Brevete trumpet with serial number 94627 is a highly coveted, professional-tier vintage Bb trumpet manufactured in Paris right around 1945, immediately following the end of World War II.

Key Historical & Technical Details
  • Production Era: Experts map out the 94,XXX serial number range specifically to the year 1945. These early post-war instruments are unique because they were frequently hand-assembled using high-quality pre-war parts and tooling that survived the occupation of Paris.
  • The Blueprint for Modern Trumpets: The French Besson Brevete design was so acoustically superior and nimble that legendary American builders like Vincent Bach and Elden Benge explicitly used it as the blueprint to build their own iconic trumpet models.
  • Design Characteristics: This era of horns typically features a Medium-Large (ML) .460″ bore, an ultra-lightweight layout, an underlung third-valve ring, and a distinctive “French bead” bell rim construction.
  • Jazz Legacy: The Brevete is legendary for its vibrant, agile tone. It was famously favored by legendary jazz giants such as Miles Davis, Lee Morgan, and Fats Navarro.
