Advert: The Music Cellar

There are some fab French fancy's ready to be packed into a Christmas stocking at the Music Cellar.

Music Cellar
 

The Music Cellar are pleased to announce the stocking of a huge selection of Antoine Courtois brass instruments.

Following a visit to the factory and being most impressed by the quality of manufacture and ethos of the company, the Music Cellar chose to invest in stocking the fantastic range of instruments.

Full range

We now have nearly the full range of their trumpets in stock, together we their trombones and a good selection of Courtois flugels.

We even have the unbelievable AC156 4 valve flugel which is quite a beast!

Try out

All these instruments are available to try in store — and what's even better is that a player can come and test them against the full range of professional instruments that we have available to try in stock.

For example, if a player is in the market for a trumpet, not only can the full range of Antoine Courtois instruments be played — but they can then be compared to Bach Stradivarius and Artisan, Conn, Yamaha Xeno etc.

Hands on

Courtois are keen to get their instruments into the hands of players who may not have naturally considered them when deciding what to buy.

Fantastic choice

Here at the Music Cellar we've invested, in partnership with Courtois, in an attempt to make this possible — and we are now in a position to offer professional players a fantastic choice of instruments to come in store and try.
