Black Dyke
 

Band Supplies is giving their worldwide customers the opportunity to play on the instruments that helped Black Dyke win the European, National and British Open titles.

Fantastic prices

The company has just supplied the Queensbury Band with their new Besson cornets, horns, baritones, euphoniums and tubas — and now has a stock of title winning instruments that are available at fantastic prices.

Triple champion

So if you want to perform on the cornets and horns that won the European in Freiburg on 'Metropolis 1927' and 'The God Particle', the euphoniums and baritones that claimed the National title on 'The Legend of King Arthur' or the tubas that laid the foundation for their success on 'Vitae Aeterna Variations' then now's your chance.

Provenance

Band Supplies MD Ronnie Tennant told 4BR: "We are delighted to maintain our historic instrument supply link with Black Dyke, which goes back over 30 years.

It also sees us make available to customers and fans a superb instrument line that will also come with the added bonus of a certificate of its Black Dyke provenance."
