There is wonderful opportunity to get the best possible Besson Prestige cornet deal possible at Cheltenham this weekend — thanks to Band Supplies.

Tried and tested

If you order a Besson Prestige cornet — tried and tested by Dr Roger Webster — from Band Supplies on the weekend, then they will also give you a full set of Denis Wick mutes and a fantastic new Fusion Urban Gig bag to go with it.

This offer will only be available on the weekend at Cheltenham and will not be repeated — so act fast and rub a bit of extra Prestige off on yourself.

Brilliant cornets

Band Supplies Leeds Manager Chris Tudball told 4BR: "The Besson bandwagon keeps gathering even more momentum thanks to their brilliant cornets and the provenance that comes with them of having Roger Webster give them an expert performance check before they leave the factory."

No one better

He added: "There is no-one better in the world to do just that — as was shown by him winning the 'Best Soloist' award at the recent British Open — and you can be assured that the cornet you pick is one that Roger would be proud to play on himself."
