York Brass Instruments are the instruments of choice for the Cory
Band.

Cory, the number 1 ranked band in the world, has announced that they will play exclusively on York Brass Instruments, with the announcement
of the appointment of York Brass Instruments as 'Instruments of Choice' for the future replacement of their cornets, tenor horns,
baritones, euphoniums and tubas.

Long and fruitful partnership

For York, the Managing Director of Schreiber & Keilwerth, Dr. Armin Eckert, told 4BR: "We are delighted about the co-operation with the Cory Band. World class musicians like David Childs and Owen Farr from the Cory Band have been a part of the successful York story from the first day. We are looking forward to a long and fruitful partnership. We congratulate Cory on being the current number one on the Brass
Band World Ranking and we wish them a successful 125th Anniversary Year."
