The much sought after Ray Farr Signature Raw Brass instruments will be on show in Norway this weekend.

Following the enthusiastic reaction of oversea visitors to the County Instruments stand at the Royal Albert Hall recently, all asking how to get their hands on the Ray Farr Signature Raw Brass flugel and cornet, County Instruments will be exhibiting them at the Siddis Entertainment Contest in Stavangar, on Saturday 1st November.
