York Brass Instruments are the instruments of choice for the Cory
Band.

Cory, the number 1 ranked band in the world, has announced that they will play exclusively on York Brass Instruments, with the announcement
of the appointment of York Brass Instruments as 'Instruments of Choice' for the future replacement of their cornets, tenor horns,
baritones, euphoniums and tubas.
