Following hard on the heels of a successful exhibition at the Mineworkers Championships, Skegness, County Instruments Raw Brass has gained plenty of Nordic support after exhibiting at the recent Norwegian National Championships in Bergen.

Great time

Enthusiasm for the instruments and sales from the stand certainly made up for low temperatures and the price of coffee according to Chris Waters, Designer of the Raw Brass cornet and flugel horn!

“We had a great time — with so many players coming up to find out more about an instrument they had heard so much about. The response has been fantastic , especially with Ray on hand to explain the finer details.”
