  Smiles of renewal as Wingates once again link up with Brass Toff Ltd

Wingates Band will once again receive free brass maintenance over the course of 2017 from the well know brass repair and renovation company Brass Toff.

Financial security

Sue Macdonald, newly appointed Band Manager told 4BR: "This is a very important move in order to consolidate our quest to bring continued financial security to Wingates Band.

We are in a fortunate position to have links to Brass Toff through Nicola and our MD Paul Andrews as all our players benefit from having consistent brass maintenance."

30 years of experience

Established in 1983, Brass Toff is an instrument repair business and sole UK retailer of Elliott Brass. It is owned by the well known conductor Paul Andrews who has over 30 years experience in the musical instrument repair sector.

Paul told 4BR: "Everyone will benefit from their instruments working to the very highest standard through regular servicing. It's vitally important to have these expensive instruments working at their optimum capacity in order for Wingates to gain the necessary longevity from their assets."

Elliott Brass

With his experience through playing, conducting, adjudicating and Brass Toff, Paul has linked with Elijah, owner of Elliott Brass Ltd, who have made Brass Toff the exclusive UK providers of the Elliott range.

Paul added: "We are able to provide a full range of services, catering for the needs of brass players. These include the sale of the superb Elliott Brass range, reconditioned instrument sales, servicing, renovation and repair."

Brass Toff also offers superb expertise in Brass Repairs, Silver-Plating, Valve Lapping and Refitting, Slide Work, Dent Removal, Customising, Sales, Service and Cleaning.

This is a very important move in order to consolidate our quest to bring continued financial security to Wingates BandBand Manager, Sue Macdonald
