Advert: Geneva Instruments

Why not join the growing band of players choosing Geneva Instruments — there is no better choice.

Symphony Cornet
 

While there are ever more options available for cornet players to look at when choosing a top of the range instrument, it comes as no surprise that more and more of them are opting for the Geneva Symphony cornet.

Demand

Demand grows by the day with more and more players following the lead of world class musicians such as James Fountain in deciding that the Geneva Symphony cornet as the instrument of choice for them.

The Geneva Instruments approach to the cornet design follows the same concept as those to the whole Symphony range — to produce a cornet with the traditional brass band sound, an open free blowing feel with a quick and controlled response that so many players strive to achieve.

Build quality

The Symphony Bb cornet’s solid build quality is second to none, and backed up by Geneva Instruments free lifetime guarantee. The complimentary annual instrument service and first year insurance cover are also testament to the value for money you receive from Geneva Instruments.

To try the Geneva Symphony Bb cornet for yourself call the Geneva Instruments sales team on: 01642 714 464.

Band room visits also available upon request.
