Advert: Sterling Musical Instruments

Now you can see as well as hear why Sterling is the choice of champions.

Choice of champions
 

There can be no better way to prove that Sterling instruments are the choice of champions than by taking a look at this unique photograph taken at the recent Great Northern Festival of Brass at Bridgewater Hall in Manchester.

Iconic trophies

The euphonium sections of both recently crowned British Open winners Foden’s and National Champions Brighouse & Rastrick perform on Sterling Virtuoso instruments – and the quartet happily showed them off at the event proudly posing next to the iconic trophies.

Wonderful endorsement

Sterling Instruments MD Paul Riggett told 4BR: "The very best players in the banding world are increasingly being attracted to what we have to offer at Sterling.

It’s a wonderful endorsement of just how good the Sterling Virtuoso euphonium is when you get these fantastic players performing on them to win the most important brass band contests in the world."

Albert Hall

You can see the quartet playing on their euphoniums at the Royal Albert Hall next month where Foden’s will be chasing a Open/National ‘Double’ and Brighouse will be looking to capture a historic National ‘hat-trick’.

And now with the expanding Sterling Virtuoso range being used by top class tuba, baritone, horn and soprano players, more and more top players are joining the Foden’s and Brighouse performers too.

With our increasing range of instruments even more players will get the opportunity to find out just how good Sterling instruments arePaul Riggett

Increasing range

Paul added: “With our increasing range of instruments even more players will get the opportunity to find out just how good Sterling instruments are.”
