Advert: Band Supplies

Band Supplies will launch a brilliant part exchange deal at Butlins on old cornets and horns — so start searching the attic!

Band Supplies
 

Band Supplies and Geneva Musical Instruments have announced a unique part exchange scheme which will be launched this weekend at the Butlins Mineworkers Festival in Skegness.

£500

For a limited time Band Supplies will give you a minimum £500 allowance against one of the new Geneva Symphony cornet outfits.

The part exchange can be of any brand of instrument but has to be in good working order and be complete with a hard case. That means you could dig out an old ‘Imperial’, ‘Regent’ or even ‘Lark’ and as long as the thing works, and get £500 off the price of a superb top quality cornet.

Geneva Cornet

The new Geneva Symphony cornet comes in either lacquer or silver plate with triggers on the main and third slide, heavy weight caps and rose brass lead pipe and bell. It also comes complete in a luxury case – all at a £2095.00 inc VAT price tag.

The brilliant deal also includes the Geneva Symphony triggered tenor horn at £2695.00, which has a part exchange allowance of £600.

No better instruments

Chris Tudball of Band Supplies told 4BR: "If you are thinking of upgrading your cornet or horn in time for the Area contests there is no better instruments to do it with.

The new Geneva Symphony cornet and horn are two of the finest in the banding world at present, and with this exclusive offer available only through Band Supplies outlets, they are guaranteed to sell very quickly indeed."

Chris added: "Bands should be raiding their old store cupboards quickly whilst the offer is on!"

New Geneva Symphony large bore cornet: RRP £2095.00
Minimum guaranteed part/exchange allowance for a complete instrument: £500.00
