Sterling Instruments
 

Another leading European star has opted to perform on the Sterling Virtuoso euphonium, following the news that Robbert Voss, principal euphonium of Dutch National champions Brass Band Schoonhoven will now perform exclusively on Sterling’s flagship instrument.

World class

Paul Riggett of Sterling is delighted that once again a world class performer has chosen a world class instrument.

"Robbert is an outstanding euphonium player, and to have him play on the Sterling Virtuoso euphonium is a real endorsement of its superb qualities. Everyone at Sterling is delighted."

Best euphonium

He added: "He joins a Sterling stable of Virtuoso euphonium artistes that includes luminaries such as David Thornton, Glyn Williams, Michael Howley, Nick Ost, Patrick Randafalk and Kevin van Giel. It is obvious the best players opt for the best euphonium in the world."
