    The Besson sounds like a true Euphonium, and the Willson sounds like a Barritone in this setting.

      Thanks for your comment! Wow I see, I personally thought that because Besson has wider sound?

    in this setting, i think the Besson does sound 'better'. I would be curious to hear how they sound in a larger room/auditorium type setting.

    • @noaeuphonium
      @noaeuphonium  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah! I am curious as well! I will try in large room and upload it later!

    The Besson has a bigger sound for sure. The Wilson sounds as if its hiding the fundamentals of the sound. Where the Besson lets them escape easily so they can be easily heard. I had a friend who played a Wilson in High School ,college, and after words as an instructor at University. He also plays at a near by church. What I am hearing here reminds me of his playing all those years ago as if he was using a mouth piece that was restricting the sound. He basically used a 4 while I used a 2 for my big bore tenor trombone too. I always had a bigger sound with my Besson 968 than he did with his Wilson. He was a much better player because the Euphonium was his dedicated instrument and he practiced more than I ever could or would.

    I think the Besson has a bigger sound but the Wilson has a greater fluidity. I have a Besson and Sterling - I play the Besson with a number of bands but often play the Sterling at home a it seems to have a warmer sound in that environment. Well played.

      Thanks for your comment! Yes, both have different abilities and it is hard to choose the one. I have never played Sterling but have wanted to try it ! I am glad you enjoyed my video!

    I myself play on a Willson during 25 years now but bought a Sterling Virtuoso Euphonium second handed.
    I now play both of them a while and must admit that the sound of the Sterling is bigger but what agility and technical response the Willson is better.
    That's why I still can't decide which instrument is the best, I use them both in my Orchestras now.
    Also both instruments have great skills, it's still the player wo makes in the end the difference.

    • @noaeuphonium
      @noaeuphonium  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks so much for your message. I have never played the Sterling one so far but I fancy to try it in the future! I feel like each instrument has good point and some point could be better. It’s hard to decided and I could not decide which is better neither.

      The old Sterling Virtuoso is out of stock because Paul Rickett retired from his business and sold it to John Packard.
      Now it's called JP Stirling and is much cheaper but I think it's made in China now like many more musical instruments.
      I haven't played on one because I like my old instruments more than the modern ones.
      Also the prizes are much higher nowadays.
      My Sterling is now with my repairer wo takes the trigger off, I hate triggers because of my wrist injury.
      Also the velvet corks of the valves are replaced to reduce the noise from the valves.
      A perfect instrument doesn't exist, it's the hard work from the player wich makes the difference.
      Hope you find an instrument to play on to try the Sterling in the future.
      The best wishes for Christmas and a healthy and happy new year.😉

    The band I played in bought new euphoniums and we had a few different makes - models. We both ended up with Besson instruments. BTW great playing 2x 👍

    • @noaeuphonium
      @noaeuphonium  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for your comment! For the banding stuff I think Besson is one of the greatest one. It is always hard to choose which one is the best, but I am really glad you enjoyed my video!

  • @crazysteve9390
    @crazysteve9390 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I do believe I can tell them apart, even on my cellphone. I don’t know how exactly to describe the difference but I think I can hear it. Honestly they both sound really good because obviously you know what you’re doing, you’re really good. 🙂

    My view is the Besson sounds better, but 2 fabulous Euphoniums to play and Steven Mead as a tutor. Doesn’t get much better than that!

    • @noaeuphonium
      @noaeuphonium  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, I am glad to have lessons with Steven Mead who is the most amazing Euphonium player in the world!

    The Besson has a deep, heavier sound but I think there is a bit more clarity with the Willson. Both souls amazing tho

    @skepticalmonkey7263 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I like the Besson. The notes sound richer even the fast tempo short notes which is surprising because I kind of expected them to be muddled. Which one do you like better? They are both fantastic.

  • @erica9443
    @erica9443 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I have a Willson - not entirely certain what model number, it’s at least 13 years old and doesn’t have a trigger on the third valve, though it is compensating- and I love it a lot. I never realized how much of a difference there is between different makes/models in terms of tone! The Besson does sound a bit better here I think, though the Willson is by no means *bad*

    • @noaeuphonium
      @noaeuphonium  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for your lovely comment! I know it really depends on the models especially when it is handmade:) It is always hard to choose which one is better but the most important thing is you choose what you love!

  • @chuckkay
    @chuckkay ปีที่แล้ว +3

    This is from a trumpet player (50 plus years), so what do I know. LOL. Really depends on what tone color you prefer and probably the type of music. The Besson no doubt is a deeper sound, naturally bigger; darker sound. More traditional. Some love that. The Wilson seems to be a little more "commercial" (studio) quality. Better for modern gigs; soundtracks; show music; etc... Even small brass bands. However, and very interesting, the Besson sounded smoother and better technique on that 3rd "jazz swing" piece.

    • @noaeuphonium
      @noaeuphonium  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for your comment! Yes, although it is hard to choose the one but most important thing is choose what you love. Both have different abilities and it is so interesting to compare with different pieces isn't it :)

    こんにちは Noa San,
    2 years ago I was choosing between a Sterling Virtuoso, and a Willson 2955.
    Just like in this video, the Willson seems to have more resistance especially in the high notes. It wouldn't let the sound escape.
    On the other hand, when I tried the Sterling, it has more open sound. Also, in the high notes, it is so much easier to play loud and feel the horn vibrate.
    May i know if you feel the same in this Willson and Besson comparison?
    Also, I know Willson is very popular in Japan, may I ask you about the Willson 2955?
    Willson 2960, 2900, 2950 are popular, but I seldom hear about 2955. (2955 seems to have a lighter bow guard than 2950)

    • @noaeuphonium
      @noaeuphonium  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for your comment! Actually I personally feels like high notes are easier with Besson. I feel like with Willson is quite hard to find the centre. But it might be my problem.
      Aww I’ve never tried 2955 actually. I’ve had 2905 and 2960. And tried 2900and2950. I know 2950&2960 are quite heavy, and it might affect the way of playing. So I fancy to try 2955, must be interesting!

    I've long since realized I have no talent at the euphonium, but I still have dreams of playing a piece correctly. At my ability level, horns of this caliber would be wasted on me. Maybe if I practiced.......

    @ccrider5398 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I liked the Wilson in the upper register, but the Besson in the lower register. I thought the double tonguing was a little crisper on the Wilson. Maybe it's because you've played the Wilson more?

    • @noaeuphonium
      @noaeuphonium  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Aww really? That’s interesting, for me when I’m playing high notes I feel comfortable with Besson, and for low notes feel comfortable with Willson actually. But that’s is how I feel when I play, so it’s interesting that how the player feel and how the audience feel are sometime different.
