Advert: The Music Cellar

New Neo store set up at The Music Cellar to met Yamaha demand.

Music Cellar
 

Following the incredible success of Yamaha's new Neo range of brass instruments, the Music Cellar is pleased to announce that we have the full Neo line up in store.

One of each

Currently we have at least one example of every Neo instrument.

We have the instrument that started it all, the Neo tenor horn, and eagerly awaited Neo euphonium and last, but not least, the one that's been causing all the fuss, the Neo BBb tuba.

Have a go

Tuba Guru Andy Cattanach is particularly relieved as now fellow bass players will stop asking to have a go on his!

So, if you're in the market for a new instrument, why not nip down to the Music Cellar and see for yourself.
