  All that Cory silverware will be on show at Cheltenham on the Sterling Instruments trade stand

Sterling Musical Instruments will have a trade stand exhibition like no other at Cheltenham this weekend — with four bits of silverware on show that unfortunately will not be for sale!

All four major trophies

Sterling euphonium star Glyn Williams has persuaded Cory to allow him to bring along the Brass in Concert, European, National Championship and British Open trophies so everyone can have the opportunity to have their photograph taken with them — although you won't be able to take them home with you however much money you have to spend!

Expert advice

In addition both Glyn and Helen Williams — who also won prestigious 'Best Soloist' silverware themselves at Symphony Hall, will be on hand to offer expert advice to people looking to purchase an instrument or two.

So proud

Paul Riggett of Sterling told 4BR: "We are so proud at Sterling to have two of the finest brass band players in the world working with us.

Glyn once again showed at the British Open that he is one of the finest euphonium players in winning the Geoffrey Whitham 'Best Euphonium' prize once again, whilst Helen showed her amazing playing quality by claiming the Stanley Wainright Award 20 years after she first won it."

Paul confirmed that absolutely anyone can come along and have their pictures taken alongside Glyn and Helen and the famous 'Grand Slam' of trophies — and maybe win a£100 voucher for their social media skills4BR
