  The pBuzz won the Best Brass/Woodwind Product Award

The Music Industry Association recently presented its annual awards in a special gala evening in London.

Around 300 people enjoyed the event which featured anyone who is anyone in music retail and distribution. A number of awards were presented, with the 'Best Brass/Woodwind Product' going to the innovative pBuzz.

Eye catching

Described as being 'More eye-catching than a recorder, lighter than a drum and easier to play than a xylophone' — the new brightly coloured, lightweight and smooth edged pBuzz has already made a huge impact in the teaching of music to early learners and fllows on from the phenomenal world-wide success of the pBone.
