During their development,
these trumpets have been tested and critiqued by many professional trumpet
players throughout the USA and Canada. Using their input to help design
the new French Besson trumpets, it can really be said that the French BessonÒ,
French Besson ClassicÒ,
and MEHA New GenerationÒ
trumpets were truly designed by the professionals.
Each of these trumpets are
equiped with Najoom® Trumpet Leadpipes.
Hand crafted to exacting tolerances by Najoom Music Products, Inc. in Wisconsin
they are sent to Besson to be installed. Immediately after manufacture,
every trumpet Dennis Najoom designed is sent to him to be tested and certified.
They are checked to see if all specifications are correct (i.e. brace placement
etc.), if there are any scratches or dents, and most importantly, if they
play well. Due to precise design specifications and careful assembly, few
are rejected. Upon passing, an instrument receives a certificate
signed by Dennis Najoom and is returned to Boosey & Hawkes to be distributed
to the dealers.
Performing on instruments
of his design in the orchestra is the final and most demanding test of
all. Of all the years working on various trumpets, the French Besson Classic
Bb and C are the first and only trumpets of his exclusive design on which
Dennis Najoom has performed with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, and
as a soloist. Performance integrity comes first.
