Get your hands on a Stomvi — but be quick!

If you want to get your hands on a fantastic Stomvi Titan cornet or soprano them you had better contact Band Supplies pronto...

Stomvi
 

Band Supplies has just taken delivery of an exclusive batch of some of the banding world's finest bespoke instruments — the amazing Stomvi Titan Bb cornet and Eb soprano cornet.

Elite

Now being used by the likes of Steve Stewart of Cory and National Championship of Great Britain 'Best Soloist' winner Paul Richard of Flowers, the Stomvi soprano is fast becoming the instrument of choice for the eilte performer, whilst the Bb Titan cornet is also gaining widespread plaudits for its exquisite levels of manufacturing quality and performance.

Perth

Band Supplies will have a selection of these models on show on their trade stand at the forthcoming Scottish Festival of Brass in Perth on Saturday 28th November.

However, such is the expected demand that Band Supplies has also struck an exclusive deal with Donald Owen of Stomvi where interested players will be able to trial these instruments for themselves.

Best Christmas present

This will enable them to appreciate their qualities in their own time — and whet the appetite for what could be the best Christmas present you could ever give yourself...

What you need to do though is to book yourself the opportunity quickly — because there is little doubt someone else may well beat you to it...
