Advert: Centre Stage Percussion

A new era in percussion retailing has arrived with Centre Stage Percussion.

Centre Stage
 

Centre Stage Percussion has just launched its brand new website, as Managing Director Martin Gernon looks to create the same market leading impression on the banding world he has done with his highly successful uniform making business.

Finest

The new venture has sourced some of the finest instrument manufactures in the world to enable Centre Stage Percussion to bring players and ensembles a new level of quality at affordable prices.

"That has been our aim all along," Martin told 4BR. "The very best instruments money can buy. From the starter player to the professional, youth ensembles to full symphony orchestras – we have the ability to provide unbeatable instruments in terms of quality at fantastic prices."

All aspects

All aspects of the percussion genre are covered — from drum kits to tubular bells, all backed by Centre Stage seeking expert help in ensuring that quality is first and foremost in their product ethos.

“We know we can compete on price – but we are unique I believe as that is also backed by Centre Stage Percussion being able to match the very best manufactures in terms of quality and innovation too.

We have worked so hard to find the right manufactures. Our customers will be amazed by what their hard earned money can buy – it’s a new era in percussion retailing."

Benefit

Brass bands will also benefit too. Martin added: "We are very proud of our reputation and our connection to the brass band movement, so people who have known us over the years will also know they will be getting a premium percussion product backed by a premium level service."
