Willson Musical Instruments continues to seek to maintain it central goal: Perfection in the production of brass instruments, in terms of sound and craftsmanship.

Development

Developments continue at the instrument centre in Flums, Switzerland and the requirements of the British brass band remain at the centre of our philosophy and production.

Combining all the traditional elements of Willson quality with an even more developed sound quality provides an instrument of absolute quality and craftsmanshipWillson Instruments

Richer and darker

Central to this is the new development of the Euphonium models 2950 UK and 2960 UK. New refinements to the Willson models give the sound a richer and darker quality, desired by the best of the UK’s leading euphonium exponents.

Recent tests have shown that the new instruments more than meet current UK brass band expectations.

Combining all the traditional elements of Willson quality with an even more developed sound quality provides an instrument of absolute quality and craftsmanship.

Confirmed

Visitors to the Rosehill Trade stand during the National Championships at the Royal Albert Hall confirmed our belief that these are the finest instruments available to the euphonium players in the world.

Be part of the new generation of players who are now discovering the beauty and quality of the Willson instruments. Always described as of a superb manufacture and build, check out Willson at Rosehill Instruments and Trevada Music.
