If its a matter of which case you need, then GP Percussion has every size and shape you need from Gbz cases.

GP Percussion
 

GP Percussion is pleased to announce that as well as Black Swamp Percussion, Innovative Percussion and Bergerault they are now stockists of Gbz Cases.

Brass bands

A number of percussionists and musicians will already be familiar with Gbz Cases, but this partnership was formed with the aim of making these quality products known and available to the brass band market place.

Gbz started manufacturing in 2003 with the aim of supplying a practical and rugged case to musicians at an affordable price.

Incredible

The covers and cases are made to an incredibly high standard, with the goal of exceeding the demands and expectations of each customer – a business practice that GP Percussion feels compliments its own.

The collection includes Timpani, Bass Drum, Tam Tam, Tuned Percussion, Hand Percussion and Piano/Celeste Cases, but Gbz can make any case or cover for many more items as each case is custom made to the very highest quality.

Customise

You could even personalise you purchase with options such as colour and even embroidery of a logo or name etc.

The list of current high profile customers include:

BBC National Orchestra of Wales
Welsh National Opera
London Philharmonic Orchestra
Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama
Cory Band
BTM Band

The covers and cases are made to an incredibly high standard, with the goal of exceeding the demands and expectations of each customerGP Percussion
