The only front action Besson that I have seen is the 993. I don't know if they make other Bb horns with front action valves. I don't know where you are located, but the price I have seen for these in silver here in the US is around $6500. Someone may have one used for sale, but since these are relatively new they will be hard to find on the used market. Any of the major dealers in the US should be able to get one for you, although there may be a bit of a wait. The ones I have played are nice, easy blowing horns, but they are large and the leadpipe is high (great for me at 6' 5") and the valve position seems most comfortable for large hands. You should have no problem finding good, used, front action BBb horns if you are willing to look beyond Besson. Why Besson specifically?
