  Mercer and Barker will showcase their expanding model range at the Spring Festival

Mouthpiece makers Mercer & Barker will be heading to the Winter Gardens in Blackpool this weekend to showcase their new and existing models — including the eagerly anticipated Glyn Williams range of euphonium and baritone mouthpieces.

There is also the exciting news that the team will bring along with them the 5 new variants of their new cornet mouthpieces, as well as the new Neoprene mouthpiece pouch to keep your mouthpiece clean and safe.

Exciting times

Speaking to 4BR, George Barker said: "These are really exciting times for the company, and we are delighted to showcase our ever-expanding model range at such a prestigious contesting event.

Our mouthpieces are making a huge mark with players at all levels — and it comes as no surprise that players such as Glyn Williams and whole sections such as the Foden's tuba team are endorsing the qualities of our products — something that was proved at the European Championships last weekend."

Say hello

He added: "We would love to say hello to players who are interested and want to find out more about what we have to offer. The same commitment to quality, design and customer service underpins all our models, so come along and find out for yourself."
