Sacrifice sale: Besson 983 EEb

This is a nearly new Silver Besson 983 EEb, front-facing 4-vale compensating EEb and in great condition. I no longer have a need for it and am willing to sell it at a highly-reduced price. I live in Myrtle Beach, and if at all possible, would prefer not to ship but willing to drive a few hours to meet. Comes with the original Besson hard case and extra tuning slide. It is a sweet-sounding compensating tuba perfect for British Brass Bands or quintets. It was made in Germany in 2019, somehow under the tutelage of Robert Tucci, but I purchased it through The Horn Guys. I won’t tell you here what I paid for it, but can assure it was much more than I am asking. Please let me know if you have any possible interest.
