He will endeavour to respond to as many people as possible but wished to take the opportunity to thank everyone who thought of him and wished him well on his 93rd birthday."

Company growth

Mute production has also increased by around 33% and the company has worked through a series of product updates and improvements to maintain its place as the leading company of brass instrument accessories."
