Features: Besson calls this the 1000L Performance trumpet. Reversed gold brass leadpipe; cornet-style bracing; top-sprung premium Monel pistons. Besson's own filter labels it Student, so the usual "Performance = intermediate" mapping is NOT applied here. Besson publishes no prices; the site offers a dealer finder only. Level is Besson's own category-page filter label.
