Advert: Geneva Instruments

Top performers play the top brand as Geneva goes from strength to strength…

Geneva
 

Geneva are very proud of their instruments and the fact they are built in Great Britain using a dedicated British workforce.

And with those traditional skills we know we are producing some of the finest instruments available today and once again flying the flag for British brass instrument manufacturing.

In demand

The Geneva brand now is in demand in the USA, Holland, Belgium, France, Norway and Denmark.

One of the many differences that Geneva is to any other brass manufactures in the world is that we offer a Free Lifetime Guarantee on all our instruments. That is great testament to the quality of our instruments.

Tim Oldroyd, Geneva’s Managing Director has spent the last decade making sure that every Geneva instrument is built with the right sound for the UK Market, something that he feels is missing with some of the other manufacturers.
