There are some fantastic silver plated Summer deals to enjoy at John Packer with a trio of tenor horns that are just as tasty as strawberries and cream.

Tremendous trio

Frequently John Packer Ltd has some eyebrow raising instruments turning up on the doorstep, and these three tremendous horns are as good as they come.

Go to: www.johnpacker.co.uk.

B&H Roundstamp: £1150 (client sale)

The first is a fantastic example of a highly sought after B&H ‘Round stamp’ – an instrument many consider to be the connoisseur’s horn.

This one is in a particularly good condition with only a small amount of wear, commensurate with its age.

With great smooth valves and a rich tone, this instrument is a must for any serious horn player.

Sterling Pro: £2035 (ex demo)

We also have a fine example from Paul Riggett’s Sterling range.

Paul has gone on to create the Sterling range which has always been well regarded for its innovative design and high quality sound. This Sterling Pro was hand built by Paul himself and is in great condition.

JP372 Sterling: £695 (ex demo)

John Packer Ltd also has an ex-demo model of the JP372 Sterling.

This collaboration with Paul Riggett led to the creation of a highly affordable pro level instrument with all the high end ‘bells and whistles’ usually reserved for instruments three times the price.

Featuring the famous Sterling design lead pipe the JP372 Sterling offers unparalleled value and is an ideal instrument for any player in any level band.
