With the 163rd British Open just around the corner we have a great prize on offer for the person who can answer a tricky question that links our prize and a test piece used at the contest a few years ago.
Worth £192.50!
And thanks to our friends at Band Supplies the winner will get their hands on a Fusion Premium Cornet gig bag — worth £192.95! (above)
Constructed with robust non PVC backed water resistant rip-stop material, the Fusion Premium Cornet bag offers extreme resistance to scuffs and abrasions. Your cornet will be stored safely inside a 30mm (1.5") high density lightweight foam shell — the inside of which is made from a soft non-scratch velvet-mix lining.
Along with the padded sleeve provided, this bag will give your instrument ultimate protection.

Last winner:
The winner of the 'Head Start' quiz was 17 year old Adam Hebditch of Uppingham in Rutland.
Lucas identified the conductor paying a personal Michael Fassbenderesque tribute to the great musical icon that was Frank Sidebottom, as Tredegar MD, Ian Porthouse.
Perhaps it shows Adam's age and his love for brass banding as principal cornet of Foresters Brass and soprano of Youth Brass 2000 that he certainly knew it was Ian Porthouse under the large spheroidal head — although he wasn't at all sure who Frank Sidebottom was!
The CDs have been posted to reach Adam by his return from the Youth Brass 2000 tour to Spain.
