If you have ever wondered just why the best euphonium players in the world are choosing to play on a Sterling, then the brilliant Glyn Williams showed just why at the National Finals in London last weekend.

Once again Glyn's fantastic playing on his 'Virtuoso' euphonium saw him awarded the prestigious 'Best Instrumentalist' prize for his stunning playing on the set work, 'The Torchbearer' by Peter Graham.

Since making the decision to play on the ground breaking Sterling Virtuoso euphonium, Glyn has won the prestigious 'Best Instrumentlaist' Awards at the 2008 & 2009 Nationals, the 2008 British Open and the 2009 All England Masters.
