Mercer & Barker have offered their congratulations to the competitors at this year's British Open Championships as well as their best wishes to those taking part at the forthcoming Cheltenham National Finals on the weekend.

Proud

A spokesperson told 4BR: "We were extremely proud that so many players in these elite level bands, including the winner Foden's, performed on our products. It was an amazing endorsement and further strengthens our position as the brand for players that expect the very best."

They added: "Our best wishes also go to all the players and bands who are using our mouthpieces at Cheltenham, and we are delighted that our trade stand will be there too.

Please come along and say hello — and find out more about why so many players are now choosing to 'blow their minds' with us!"

Young Ambassador

One of those was baritone Emma Coffey, a Mercer & Barker Young Ambassador who recently won the 'Best Instrumentalist' award at the recent Doctor Martin Wainstone Cup contest.

The spokesperson added: "Emma is a fantastic talent and we are proud to have her on board with us as a Young Ambassador."
