Mercer & Barker to focus on USA market

The mouthpiece manufacturer is looking to build on its presence in the American market place with their trip to the NABBA Championships.

Mercer and Barker
  Mercer & Barker has been building its international profile in recent years

Mercer & Barker continue to build on their international reputation for providing players with mouthpieces to meet their needs, with their next trip already booked to showcase their products at the North American Brass Band Championships in Fort Wayne Indiana in April.

Norway to USA

After enjoying successful trip to Stavanger last year for the Siddis Championships, they will now head across the Atlantic for the event that takes place on the 4th and 5th April and has attracted players and bands from across the nation playing in solo, ensemble and band contests.

Speaking to 4BR, Carl Mercer said: "It's testament to the success of our mouthpieces that we are able to make the trip to such an exciting event.

We have already made a huge impression with brass band players eager to find out more about our products, and there is a huge market to tap into with wind bands and symphonic bands too."

Requests

He added: "We've already been inundated with requests to bring specific models and we will be packing our bags to make sure we can satisfy the demand. It is also why we have a bespoke USA website with special offers on."
