  The Oldroyd Opus 7 horn is already making its mark

Tim Oldroyd has told 4BR that he has been delighted by customer responses to the new range of Oldroyd Musical Instruments.

Speaking to 4BR he said: "My ethos is to provide the brass band community with instruments of the very highest calibre — where tradition meets innovation, and the response from people to our instruments shows that we are certainly doing just that."

Sound and quality

He added: "I'm particularly delighted that the responses have been in terms of the wonderful sound and build quality as the two go in hand in hand. The Opus 7 tenor horn for instance is is really making a huge impression from the first note people play on it."
