Sterling Musical Instruments will be exhibiting at the Butlins Mineworkers Championship this weekend — led by their star euphonium endorsee Glyn Williams.

And with the Sterling 'Winter Special Offer' still running, Glyn will be on hand to ensure that players will have the perfect opportunity to be given the type of expert advice that is essential in choosing a top class instrument.

Looking forward

He told 4BR: "I'm really looking forward to meeting up with friends old and new and to soak up the atmosphere at one of the banding highlights of the year. It is such an important occasion so I couldn't miss it."

Joining Glyn throughout the weekend will be baritone star Sarah Lenton and tuba virtuoso Steve Sykes who will be available to give advice on the Sterling 'Virtuoso' baritone and EEb Tuba and to demonstrate what the instruments have to offer.

Very proud

Sterling MD Paul Riggett added: "We are very proud to have so many top class musicians involved at Sterling. Sarah is making her mark as one of the best baritone players in Europe with Foden's and Steve's reputation of course speaks for itself."
