Originally selected by Black Dyke direct from Besson, these instruments are in superb condition with just minor marks and wear.

All instruments have been checked over by the experts at Band Supplies and will come with an extended warranty of 3 years and a free insurance for a year.

Each will come with a Black Dyke certificate of heritage provenance presented by Director Music, Prof Nicholas Childs.

Band Supplies Managing Director Ronnie Tennant told 4BR: "As the instrument retailer of choice for the band we are delighted to be able to offer these instruments for sale.

As you would expect, they are outstanding examples, tested, chosen and performed on by the world's most famous band — one that is universally recognised for the quality of its sound."
