Besson Musical Instruments has announced that they have linked up in an innovative partnership agreement with British Open champion Tredegar.

Progressive

Besson representative Lyndon Chapman told 4BR that the band’s increasing profile and progressive musical outlook were the keys to the new link.

"Besson prides itself on working throughout the world with leading musicians and bands that mirror the company’s own philosophy and ambition: Performers who strive for excellence at every opportunity.

We have certainly seen that in Wales with our existing links with Cory, and so we welcome Tredegar on board with our other world class ambassadors, artists and endorsees.

We are certainly looking forward to working with them in the future on many of their exciting projects."

It’s a very exciting time for Tredegar at present with a number of high profile events in the pipeline, so this partnership certainly reflects our future ambitionsMD, Ian Porthouse

Thrilled

Tredegar MD Ian Porthouse was delighted that the Open champion was joining the Besson stable.

"Besson is the world’s leading brass instrument brand, and all our leading soloists play on their instruments, so for the band to be able to work with Besson in the future is something I’m particularly thrilled about.

It’s a very exciting time for Tredegar at present with a number of high profile events in the pipeline, so this partnership certainly reflects our future ambitions."
