I also played this horn at the MENC conf in Portland, and LOVED it.
The guy at the booth knew very little about it; he was not a tuba (or brass, for that matter) guy. When I inquired why the horn wasn't even on the Besson website, he told me that the site REALLY needs updating, and he produced a catalog that listed the Besson CC.
Prices (list): Lacquer: 10,200, Silver: 10,700. Of course these will be lower in an actual purchasing situation, by 2-3K, or so he says.
