Prodige set for tour dates

Buffet Crampon is heading out on the road to bring the experience of performing on their Prodige students instruments to your doorstep.

Prodige
  The tour starts in Barnsley on Tuesday

Buffet Crampon is providing a unique opportunity for people to come along and experience their range of Prodige student wind and brass instruments.

The Prodige Tour hits the road at Barnsley Civic Centre on Tuesday 4th October — and from 2.00pm until 6.00pm people can come along and see just what the instruments are all about and try them out.

Van packed

It's all packaged into a specially equipped van so mobility is no problem as the tour will head up to Scotland as well as down to Amersham over the next couple of weeks, so if you are nearby why not pop in and enjoy the experience.

A spokesperson told 4BR: "We can't wait to get going. There is an immersive 360 degree Virtual Reality Factory Tour, where visitors can experience what goes into the making of the instruments before you can have a go on them yourselves.

We believe in bringing our products to our customers and we hope both pupils and tutors will take the time to come along and enjoy themselves. It's about inspiring through education, providing awareness and making contact to share our knowledge and expertise with the people who want to or already play our instruments."

Launch

The launch coincides with the launch of the Prodige Play App — a brilliant new educational tool to help young players develop their skills
