Leadpipe a bit too long, slide on change valve longer than Alex103, valve slides somewhat different. I dont know if Alexander ever renewed their patent, but I doubt as they even did not own a copy of their patent for the 103. They got a copy from my patent collection.

I had one of these Besson horns in silver plated brass. According to the serial number it was made in the mid 1960s. It had quite a few dents and re-soldered joints, but played VERY well. So well, in fact, that a Pro player bought it from me. I had hoped to keep the horn, but he wanted it

Studentiphonium ? A very good new name. But nevertheless, there are several cheap brand horns in the world, which do not sound bad, in contrary, they (at the lips of a good player) even sound better than other very expensive instruments (sometimes). But KlausĀ“ evaluation is quite right. Also

It was not a violation of the Alex patent as Alexander did not renew the patent patents expire after 5, 10 or 15 years. Patent rights do not protect the inventions as does the copyright law for other things.

I'm sure that Besson gets their stenciled horns from Lidl, now for at least 10 years. Hoyer also makes a very good horn with this wrap (sort of a cross between Geyer and Kruspe). I have seen and played several owned by KBHCers. They are tighter and brighter than the Geyer wrapped Hoyers

Kendall: Knopf was not part of the Markneukirchen brass instrument conglomerate that now includes Hoyer, but all of the makers in the former GDR were required to sell their horns through a government agency, usually to other Eastern bloc countries (see my interview with Christian Knopf in the
