It's superbly designed and made and has made a huge boost to my performance levels."

Exciting

"Tredegar is such an exciting band to play for — and it's their musical outlook that is so attractive for a player like me.

The band has given me so many high profile opportunities that has also led to this link with Yamaha which also opens up new opportunities."
