Advert: Cory opt for York

European Champions make the best decision of 2009 — by chossing York Instruments.

York
 

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

Exclusive

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.

Euph/baritone delivery

The band is already playing on York 'Eminence' cornets and will receive their 'Eminence' euphoniums and 'Preference' baritones within the next few days.

By the time of the 125th Anniversary Concert in June, the band will have a full set of York Brass Instruments in their hands.

Long and fruitful partnership

For York, the Managing Director of Schreiber & Keilwerth, Dr. Armin Eckert, told 4BR: "We are delighted about the co-operation with the Cory Band. World class musicians like David Childs and Owen Farr from the Cory Band have been a part of the successful York story from the first day. We are looking forward to a long and fruitful partnership. We congratulate Cory on being the current number one on the Brass
Band World Ranking and we wish them a successful 125th Anniversary Year."

Increased cooperation

Dr. Robert Childs, a York performing artist and ‘4BR Conductor
of the year 2008’ commented: "It is a pleasure to increase the cooperation with York Brass Instruments. Our principals are heavily involved in the further development of the instruments."

Additionally, Cory is pleased to announce that they have appointed Trevada Music as their 'Dealers of Choice' for the provision and maintenance of their instruments.
