Grenville Moore from John Packer Ltd will be at Cheltenham for the National Finals next weekend — and he will have the full line-up of JP Sterling instruments on show on the trade stand which will be groaning under the weight of great deals!

Full range

The range now consists of tenor horn, baritone, euphonium, EEb tuba and BBb tuba, all of which have been reviewed and acclaimed by leading players from the brass band and professional orchestral worlds.

Highest level

Designed by Paul Riggett of Sterling Instruments, this range represents fantastic value and is capable of being used at the very highest level – with the remarkable JP377 Sterling EEb just one of the instruments in action at the recent British Open Championship in Birmingham.

Quality

And don’t just our word for it!

"Great tuning from top to bottom. Many baritones have a problem with G#/Ab but this instrument has solved it," — Natsumi McDonald of Foden’s commenting on the JP373 Sterling Baritone

"Everything works on this instrument. It has a full range with a singing quality," — Ewan Easton of the Halle commenting on the JP377 Sterling EEb
