Endorsement

A M&B spokesperson told 4BR: "This is yet another endorsement of the mark we are making on the world of brass. Band Supplies has a fantastic reputation as one of the leading retailers to the brass band world and this is a link that will be of huge benefit to players.

We have built a robust production and supply chain due to our local manufacturing expertise and commitment to customer service. We know Band Supplies shares our ethos, so this can only benefit players all over the UK and beyond."

Delighted

Speaking about the link, Ronnie Tennant of Band Supplies said: "We are delighted to be able to supply our customers with the full range of Mercer & Barker mouthpieces.

We know just what an incredible impression they have made with players and now our customers can find out more about them first hand too."
