Fanfare trumpets ready and waiting at John Packer

There is a rare chance to get your hands on a set of fanfare trumpets — just in case there is a State occasion taking place around the corner from you any time soon...

Fanfare
  Thee is a rare chance to get your hands on a set of fanfare trumpets

If you want to be able to make the best possible entrance for your band or add something a little bit different to your instrument stock, then John Packer has a set of pre-owned fanfare trumpets waiting to be played.

Set

The set consists of one Eb and one Bb trumpet plus two Bb tenor trumpets and two G bass trumpets.

Sets of fanfare trumpets do not come up for sale very often, so it's unusual to see six instruments in one go.
