Looking to demonstrate some pre-love to help your playing?

Bands Supplies have plenty of great deals to be had on ex-demo and pre-loved second hand instruments — so just get in touch with Chris...

Band Supplies
  Chris Tudball will be on hand to give you expert advice and guidance

With the contest trade stand season now at an end, Band Supplies has some fantastic deals on offer on pre-loved and demonstration instruments.

Instruments

The demo instruments are essentially brand new stock that may have a small blemish or tiny mark which don't affect the playing quality of the instrument and makes them especially good value for money. They come with a 24-month warranty.

The pre-loved second hand instruments have all been fully serviced and come with a 3-month warranty.

All are available to purchase from the Band Supplies Leeds store with nationwide delivery available free of charge.
