Besson 982. I reckon the narrower leadpipe gives a bit more bite and focus, especially in the upper range, and the slightly higher leadpipe position is more comfortable (for me anyway). It is also extremely mouthpiece sensitive - a small one makes it sing like a euph (or possibly a baritone?) and a large mouthpiece sounds full and rounded.
It even makes breakfast and fetches your newspaper in the morning.
(actually, I made up that last bit).
