Besson Standard 111: a trumpet with a clear positioning in the range
With the Standard 111, Besson offers a trumpet designed to support the musician beyond the first years, when the need for intonation, stability, and projection becomes more demanding. The brand is recognized in the brass world for its instruments intended for study as well as ensemble playing, with a constant focus on balancing playing comfort, durability, and musicality.
For which musician and styles
This intermediate trumpet is aimed at conservatory students, brass band/harmony musicians, and advanced amateurs who wish to take a step up from a beginner model. Its clear and powerful character suits both classical (intonation work, crisp attacks) and pop, stage music, and ensembles where projection and control in the upper register are essential.
Sound and design
The handmade one-piece brass bell promotes a more immediate response and more effective projection while maintaining a bright timbre. The 11.68 mm bore offers a good compromise between ease of blowing, power reserve, and register homogeneity. The reverse leadpipe contributes to a freer blowing sensation and more stable tuning, helping to maintain a centered sound line even at loud dynamics.
In terms of ergonomics, the 3 stainless steel pistons and top springs aim for fast and consistent action, useful for articulation and fast passages. The 2 water keys simplify daily condensation evacuation, and the varnished finish protects the instrument while keeping a sober and professional appearance.
Recommended compatible accessories
The supplied lightweight black Cordura gigbag is ideal for everyday transport. For maintenance, a trumpet cleaning kit (brushes and cloth) and slide grease are essentials, to be chosen in a universal trumpet version.
