Band Supplies
 

Band Supplies will be taking our trade stand along to the Foden’s Solo, Duet & Quartet Contest this Saturday.

On show

As one of Buffet Crampon’s official main retailers we will be pleased to have on show products from the Besson and Courtois range of instruments as well as accessories from Alliance.

As well as these famous makes, we will also have the fabulous plastic trombones from P Bone and tromba which will be available to purchase on the day. These incredible fun packed instruments – perfect for anyone from beginner to top brass band star are just £89.00 and come with stand, mouthpiece bag and accessory pack!!

Majestic Courtois

Also available to trial and buy is the majestic Courtois AC440BR-1-0 Legend trombone as played by Foden’s principal trombonist John Barber.

Band Supplies Manager Chris Tudball told 4BR: "This incredible trombone is simply amazing – combining tremendous power with immense control. A rich warm tone is easily accessible and the amazing sound is quite something. As a Conn player myself I was staggered when I trailed this trombone for the first time and place it highly on my own wish list in the future."
