Cornet Christmas bargain from Geneva

Fancy getting your hands on eight Brighouse & Rastrick Xeno cornets in time for Christmas?

Brighosue cornets
 

Due to Brighouse & Rastrick’s recent move to perform on Geneva Instruments, the leading brass instrument manufacturer can now offer 8 Yamaha Xeno Bb cornets, formerly owned and played by the world famous band, available for someone to buy in time for Christmas.

Great opportunity

Duncan Cartledge, Geneva Instruments Marketing Director told 4BR: “This is a great opportunity for Brighouse & Rastrick fans to own their own little bit of the band’s history — and play on some great instruments too.

We predict that the cornets will be snapped up quickly and we encourage anyone interested get in touch straight away. This is one heck of a great deal.”

Professionally overhauled

All cornets have been professionally overhauled and also come with a five year guarantee (does not cover silverplate) and will be posted free of charge to anywhere in the UK.

We predict that the cornets will be snapped up quickly and we encourage anyone interested get in touch straight away. This is one heck of a great dealGeneva Instruments
