Dutch Open champion Festival Brass Band has announced that it has become an official partner with Randefalk Music.

It will see the former Belgian National Champion become an official endorsee of the full range of the Norwegian euphonium star's mouthpieces and accessories.

Founded by Patrik Randefalk in 2017, the company has gained a well earned reputation for its growing range of products designed to offer innovative solutions to player's needs.

High quality brand

A band spokesperson told 4BR: "As Randefalk Music provides products that improve performance and simplifies the everyday life of the musician, the band was eager to be part of the development and growth of the high-quality brand."

One player certainly converted is Festival Brass baritone player Leen Vandenhende. "I play now play on the R4B baritone mouthpiece and is the perfect match for any contemporary baritone player."
