Scottish champions announce instrument deal with Geneva Instruments.

Scottish champions Co-operative Funeralcare Band has announced a new collaboration with Geneva Musical Instruments.

New instruments

Geneva will provide the 4BR Band of the Year nominees with a full cornet section of superb Geneva Symphony Cornets, whilst the other sections will also benefit from new Geneva Symphony Instruments—from tenor horns to tubas.

Band Manager Martin Stack told 4BR: "We have been in talks with Geneva since the British Open and are extremely pleased to have sealed this agreement which will see Geneva Instruments support the band."

'We have had a few instruments on trial and are very impressed with the free blowing, traditional sound, and superb build quality of the Symphony brand'

With our 95 year sponsorship, with Co-operative Funeralcare and Co-operative Membership, and now with the added support of Geneva Instruments, we are looking to build on the successes achieved in 2012."
