UkBrassHire adds top horns to line-up

Top of the range tenor horns from Besson and Yamaha can now be hired or purchased from ukBrassHire

Yamaha
  The Yamaha Neo is now available from UKBrasshire

ukBrassHire has recently expanded its range of tenor horns to include professional standard instruments from both Yamaha and Besson.

Having started with cornets, euphoniums, and trombones, ukBrassHire is now expanding to be able to supply all sections of a band with the highest quality instruments.

Sovereign

Long regarded as the instrument of choice the Besson Sovereign 950 Eb tenor horn is an easy-blowing instrument with warm rich notes at the bottom of its range and a soaring quality to the upper register. In striking silver plate it is sure to catch the eye too.

Neo

While the Besson Sovereign is a long-established favourite among horn players, the Yamaha Neo YAH-803S tenor horn in silver plate is also sure to turn heads.

With an extremely high standard of construction, excellent tuning through the octaves and solid sound ideal for either solo or ensemble work, the Neo is definitely one of the world's leading instruments.
