Hi Charley,
I have an old Besson 3 valve compensator. Did you say they are making them again? I bought mine from a guy who used it extensively at Disneyworld. I actually like the horn, except that the third valve is a bit stuffy. You just have to really focus those notes a bit more. But I love the big easy blow they have. Unfortunately my valves are past their prime now too. I also have an Imperial Eb similar to the one which is pictured next on your page, but mine has the bigger bell. I am looking to sell it and get a new Besson 981 in the near future.
thanks for the pix,
ken k
