Advert: Sterling Musical Instruments

Help gain the type of musical memories that last a life time with the Sterling Virtuoso euphonium

David Thornton
 

If you want to be able to produce the type of musical memories recently made by euphonium star David Thornton at the Royal Albert Hall, then make sure you get your hands on a Sterling ‘Virtuoso’ euphonium.

David claimed the prestigious ‘Best Soloist’ Award at the National Finals (shown above just before he went on stage) thanks to his stunning contribution to Brighouse & Rastrick’s performance of Edward Gregon’s ‘Of Distant Memories’ — referred to as ‘simply stunning’ by the judges.

David has long put his trust in the Sterling brand – and it has enabled him to perform in ‘Virtuoso’ mode at the great contest and concert venues around the world.


David is simply one of the very best and Sterling is proud to be able to provide him with the ideal euphonium to help him on his virtuoso performancesPaul Riggett

Very best

Sterling MD Paul Riggett passed on his congratulations to David on his latest achievement.

"The finest players in the world now choose Sterling to meet their performance needs. David is simply one of the very best and Sterling is proud to be able to provide him with the ideal euphonium to help him on his virtuoso performances."
