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.
