Bag a Besson artist for your next concert

If you purchase a new Besson instrument this month through Band Supplies you could find it coming with an added concert extra...

Band Supplies
  Your next concert could feature a world class Besson artist to go along with your new instrument

Band Supplies has just launched a brand new competition -one that could see your band team up with a world class Besson artist for your next concert.

Any customer who purchases a new Besson instrument from either their Leeds or Glasgow stores will now be entered if they wish, into a draw that could see a band of their choice link up with a Besson artist to play at a band concert.

New instrument

Entry is open to all customers who purchase a new Besson instrument throughout August, with the lucky winner being announced at the 2019 British Open on the 7th September in Birmingham.

To find out more about the brilliant range of Besson instruments, go to:
