Promoting

The star euphonium player has been the signed by Sterling Instruments and will be promoting the new Sterling Virtuoso euphonium at one of the music world’s most prestigious commercial gatherings.

Reputation

The reputation of the Sterling Virtuoso euphonium has been enhanced further by the news that Rory Cartmell of Zone One Brass recently picked up his second successive ‘Best Euphonium’ Award at the London & Southern Counties Regional Championships in Stevenage.

Huge boost

Sterling’s Paul Riggett told 4BR: "Having David Thornton on board is a huge boost. He is a player with a worldwide reputation, and an artist who commands huge respect. For him to choose to play on a Sterling Virtuoso euphonium goes to show that the very best brass musicians choose the very best brass instruments."
