Advert: Glyn Williams Musical Instruments

Oh we do like to be beside the seaside!

Glyn Williams
 

Glyn Williams Musical Instruments will be heading for the seaside at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool this weekend, hoping to interest lots of customers in their range of both new and second hand instruments.

Superb

On display will be the superb Sterling Virtuoso Euphonium, which is fast becoming the instrument of choice for discerning players, together with the recently launched Sterling tenor horn and cornet.

On hand

Glyn will be on hand for most of the day to explain the various options available with the Sterling range and to book customers in for one to one consultations at the Sterling factory.

Second Hand

Also on display will be some top quality second hand instruments, all of which will have been through the workshop to ensure they are in the great condition.

Pop along to the trade stand for a chat with Glyn & Helen...but remember to cheer them on later in the day as they compete in the Championship Section with Foden’s!
