Raw Brass set to showcase trumpet at Butlins

Raw Brass will showcase their brilliant trumpet at Skegness this weekend.

Raw Brass
 

Raw Brass will be displaying its fantastic trumpet at the forthcoming Butlins Mineworkers Championship in Skegness alongside the company's critically acclaimed flugel and cornet (above).

Characteristics

Chris Waters, the 'brains' behind the unique Ray Farr Signature Flugel Horn, told 4BR that it's invariably friends of contest players who, having enjoyed the playing characteristics of the flugel or cornet, want to know if there's a trumpet available offering the same features and benefits.

"We pride ourselves on listening to customers and potential customers and reacting accordingly."
