That's really interesting.

Claude's Meha was made in France, unlike some of the parts on the last run of Bessons. Notice the distributor has an office in Texas, where I've heard more than once that the Besson was assembled in the 50's.

That was one good horn he had, I got to play it, and the response was instantaneous, really great.
