At a recent concert at the prestigious Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto, not just the players, but also many people in the audience remarked upon the sound of the Willson horn too.

The recommendation from the CSB members has attracted other UK horn players to investigate the qualities of this fantastic Willson instrument.
