Arnold Jacobs recorded/performed it on his York CC and a smaller Besson/Barlow(I believe) F tuba.
Nope--the Besson in question was a small euphonium-sized 3+1 compensating instrument made in the 60's.
There's scant information about the 60's Besson CC and F prototypes. Anyone have any good information on why they were produced and why Boosey never chose to mass-market them?
