The continued growth of Ev-entz as one of the UKs leading musical retail outlets has been enhanced by the news that we will now be stocking an even greater range of world class instruments from Besson and Courtois.

Latest

The latest Besson Prestige instruments to find a home with us are the superb range of cornets, tenor horns and euphoniums, with the Courtois flugel also available too — all with the added bonus of coming at what we believe are fantastic prices backed by an unsurpassed personal service.

And don’t just take out word for it either, as All England Masters Champions Tredegar has become the latest band to benefit from what we can offer.

Outstanding

Band Manager Gareth Young told 4BR: "Ev-entz provided us with outstanding Besson instruments and an outstanding personal service led by retail manager Mike Brown. Nothing was too much trouble. We wanted the best instruments at the best prices backed by the best possible service – and we got it."
