Sovereign adds GT heritage at Band Supplies

Band Supplies has just stocked up its forecourt with some new high performance GT model Sovereign cornets from Besson.

  Besson have brought in their new GT model on the Sovereign corent

An iconic cornet is sure to accelerate out of the Band Supplies showrooms in Glasgow and Leeds after Besson introduce a new GT model to their garage of high performance models.

The initials will be stamped onto the all new 928GT Sovereign cornet to recognise the addition of a main tuning slide — just like its Prestige sibling — arguably world's most popular professional level cornet.

Increased performance

And just as the GT mark signifies increased performance characteristics with legendary motorcars, so does the same mark on the Sovereign cornet.

Chris Tudball, Band Supplies Leeds store manager told 4BR: "The market place has been crying out for this model for a number of years now — bringing the Sovereign into the same performance lineage as the Prestige.

We are delighted Besson has sought information and advice from professional players and dealers alike and developed the new Sovereign GT.

The initial shipment to us sold out straight away and we have just taken a second batch into our Leeds and Glasgow stores.

Get in touch to ask about a trial — as we are sure you won't want to give it back!"
