There was even more evidence that Sterling Musical Instruments are the best in the business, as Glyn Williams of the Fodens Band once again showed off his amazing skills on the Sterling 'Virtuoso' euphonium.

Fantastic

Glyn picked up yet another 'Best Instrumentlaist' Award — this time at the All England Masters International contest — all helped by that fantastic Sterling 'Virtuoso' euphonium.

Hat trick

Glyn has now won a hat trick of prestigious individual awards at the top brass band contests in the world — the Open, Nationals and now the Masters — all with the help of the Sterling 'Virtuoso' euphonium — the only euphonium manufactured in the U.K.

Opportunity

It is also the only euphonium which gives you the opportunity to choose from a list of available options, creating your ideal instrument — and perhaps one that will help you become a performer in the Glyn Williams 'Masters' class.

Sterling Virtuoso euphoniums are available from:
Glyn Williams Musical Instruments — 07976 628956
