On December 1st, York Musical Instruments extended the successful product range of brass band instruments with an additional series.

With the 'Prescience' models, there are now instruments in the medium price segment available.

Enthused

Musicians and dealers both were equally enthused during the introduction of the first instruments. One euphonium player from England said: "They are absolutely unique in this price class."

Professional par

Furthermiore, a leading Swiss dealer remarked positively about the workmanship of the new instruments: "Quality-wise they are absolutely on a par with a professional line."

Series

In the new 'Prescience' series York offer a cornet, tenor horn, baritone, 3 and 4 valve euphonium, as well as a Bb and Eb tuba of particularly compact construction.

Suitable

The instruments are of the typical brass band style with pump valves without the compensating system. They have nickel-silver outer slides, the typical York design as well as a high-grade case with backpack carrying system and transport rollers for the larger instruments.

The models are suitable for beginners as well as for experienced musicians. An unbeatable price-quality relation makes these instruments the first choice of many musicians.
