These seem to have great false tones. I played next to a guy with a kinda beater one of these 20 odd years ago, when I explained the concept to him he was able to easily play them very well on it.

Despite the dents, this one is less dinged-up than most of these I see for sale used.

Most of these I’ve seen have also been Besson branded instead of B&H… kind of unusual for B&H to be engraved on a three valve compensator.
