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

This week there are stops in Stirling, East Lothian and Glasgow — so make sure you don't miss out on finding out more about the full range of student instruments.

Tuesday 11th October is at Raploch Community Campus in Stirling from 10.00am.

Fantastic

The response from visitors has already been hugely encouraging according to Euan Meikle of Buffet Crampon. "It's been fantastic. The whole set up welcomes people in to try the instruments — and we have had great fun.

It's also been great to welcome some familiar faces too who have come along to support us and to lend a hand. This week is going to be fantastic as I know we are going to be busy up as soon as we open the doors."

Van packed

It's all packaged into a specially equipped van so mobility is no problem as the tour will drop back into England over the next couple of weeks, so if you are nearby why not pop in and enjoy the experience.

Launch

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