There are plenty of great second-hand and demo special deals to enjoy with Band Supplies at the moment — so make sure you don't miss out.

The pick is surely a Boosey & Hawkes 'Round Stamp' Sovereign cornet — an ex-James Shepherd Versatile Brass instrument played on by founding member Graham Walker and the legendary James Shepherd himself.

It's in excellent original condition and a real collector's item.
