There are some remarkable second hand deals on at Sterling — and all because more and more players are deciding to perform on the world class instruments.

Black Friday
  There are some amazing Black Friday second hand deals at Sterling Instruments

With the Sterling Virtuoso euphonium becoming more and more popular with high profile players, now is the ideal opportunity to join a stable of world class performers like Lars Otto Torsvik, principal euphonium of the all-conquering Eikanger Bjorsvik and Brass in Concert 'Best Soloist' Gary Curtin, in choosing to play on one.

Proud

MD Paul Riggett told 4BR: "We are proud of all our Sterling Artists and would like to publicly acknowledge their ongoing successes.

Not only Lars Otto and Gary, but Glyn Williams, who has been a part of our team for over a decade and who was awarded the 'Best Euphonium' prize at Brass in Concert for an incredible sixth time.

That is a remarkable testament to his as a player — and for him playing on a Sterling instrument."
