Belgian euphonium star Glenn van Looy has become the latest leading instrumentalist to join the stable of international brass artists choosing to perform on a Geneva Symphony instrument.

Major coup

In a major coup for the instrument manufacturer, the award winning soloist will endorse and perform on the Geneva Symphony euphonium, joining international adviser David King and Geneva artists including, Sheona White, James Fountain, Stale Johanssen and Joseph Cook.

Excited

Geneva Instruments Managing Director, Craig Buchan told 4BR: “I’m very excited that Glenn has chosen to play a Geneva Symphony euphonium. It was obvious when he was trying the different instruments that it perfectly suited his sound.

Geneva’s approach and philosophy when it comes to sound is quite simple: It’s of paramount importance. We are now looking forward to working with Glenn over the coming years.”

Blown away

Glenn himself added: “I was blown away by the Geneva Symphony euphonium.

The ease of playing and the versatility are second to none. The Symphony’s tuning and intonation is so good that there rarely the need to use the trigger fitted on the instrument at all!

The Geneva design concept is to produce instruments with a traditional warm 'brass band' sound, and the Symphony euphonium definitely delivers this!”

Looking forward

He continued: “At the moment I'm performing with the Symphony Orchestra of Flanders and the instrument blends really well within the brass section.

I’m also looking forward to playing the Symphony euphonium at the upcoming Belgium National Championship this month and also on my new solo album which I’m recording in December.”
