Willson has always maintained one goal: perfection in the production of brass instruments.

Their instruments are in demand in the USA, Japan, Singapore, Netherlands & Benelux, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Finland, Australia and the United Kingdom!

Rich quality

Generations of players have discovered the rich quality and reliability of Willson instruments over the years. Charley Brighton has been performing on the Willson 2900 Euphonium for the last 10 years.

Raf Van Looveren, Principal cornet of Brass Band Willibroek, has been closely involved with the development of the Willson 430 Celebration model.

The technology and the finishing are like the precision of a Swiss watchDanny Aerden

Beautiful instrument

Danny Aerden performs alongside Raf Van Looveren and says the following about this beautiful instrument: "For me personally, the Willson cornet is the perfect instrument in all circumstances, the ideal compromise! The sound is beautiful, big and wide.

The Willson cornet sounds free and natural. It's colour blends perfectly with brass band music. The intonation of the Willson cornet is excellent and easy to adjust with the trigger on the tuning slide. The technology and the finishing are like the precision of a Swiss watch.

On top of this all, Willson has ensured that the cornet is easy to play: each note is easy to play and sounds homogeneous. The air flows easily through your instrument."
