Pop along

As part of the Black Friday Event, all you have to do is pop along to the Geneva Trade Stand at either the Scottish Open or Band Supplies Scottish Challenge Cup competitions in Perth later this month, or visit the trade stand next January at Butlins to enter a competition to win a free Geneva Group instrument.

You can also pay Geneva a visit at its Stokesley showroom, where you can really enjoy browsing and playing the full range of brilliant instruments.

The competition will continue long after the Black Friday Event and the winner of the competition will be announced at the Butlins Brass Festival.

All this and you get an extra chance of winning if you contact Sales Manager Simon Miller to arrange a bespoke bandroom visit so you can try out the full range of instruments with no obligation.

The Black Friday event is for UK Customers only and finishes at the end of November, so call Simon on 07415739206 or the UK office on 01642 714464 to make the most of unbeatable discounts on a full range of instruments.
