Advert: Geneva to fly Union Jack Flag

Geneva back in production — and flying the union jack flag for the best instruments British banding can get its hands on.

Geneva
 

As from March this year all Geneva Band Instruments have gone into production from soprano to BBb tuba.

5 years wait

After a long 5 years developing the Geneva brand, Tim Oldroyd is confident these will be the best instruments available on the market to date and looks forward to flying the Union Jack once again in the brass instrument manufacturing business.

Passion

Tim's passion was always to bring back brass making to the UK and he thinks he has done it. But don't just take his word for it, get out there and try it — many have and many believe in it.

Geneva is already a major player in brass instrument manufacturing, making instruments for some of the finest players in the world.
