John Packer

I play in a brass band in East Sussex alongside experienced players with higher end cornets who listen to, and look upon, this beautiful instrument with envy. I bought the lacquered version last year and it really does sound amazing. It gives a lovely, rich, mellow sound, and is relatively free blowing providing easy reach of upper register notes. The valves spring reassuringly quickly, and overall this is simply a brilliant instrument.

Fantastic condition and really pleased. Fast delivery and great service will be using John Packer from now on for my brass needs.

Could not recommend this company and trumpet more highly. Alice was a pleasure to deal with, friendly, helpful and communicative. The trumpet itself is excellent - a real upgrade on my previous Yamaha. I never really knew what it meant when people said a trumpet slotted better, but it's much easier to find and pitch notes and I can play with more control both in a higher and lower register than before. Absolutely brilliant experience.

Perfect for anybody who finds the current Bach 4G or Wick 4AL just a little to deep and air-hungry. Lovely warm sound, fantastic low register response, and top register fine with work! Rim very comfortable for me - better than any Bach or Wick and comparable to Doug Elliott rims IMO. I haven't tried the standard L4, but can't see why most players would need anything deeper than the BB model. YMMV.

Just the job. Better than the bottle brush type especially on glass mouthpieces.

Great as usual but I'm not sure why each reed is individually wrapped as well as in it's individual plastic case. Will be buying more soon.

Excellent mouthpiece for beginner at a very affordable price. Fast delivery. Would buy again. Thanks very much

This review relates to s JP271SW Bb Cornet which I recently purchased for our band. The response and service from John Packer was excellent. Short delivery time. The instrument itself is very good. In October last year I also bought a JP176 Eb Soprano Cornet. Same response and service, and again for a student instrument the quality is very good. Above all I consider these instruments to be excellent value for money.

Works really well well . Not upsetting the household or next door

Just as ordered, fits nicely on my Jhorn. Fast delivery, top service.

Trumpet arrived within days of ordering, it came ready oiled and we are pleased with it so far!

Great Sax, good quality and sound. Speedy delivery and good communication

For the price this is an excellent mute that sounds great and plays in tune. It is well made and comfortable to hold and use. The stem moves freely and easy to use when playing. A very good mute that is great value for money.

A quality mute for a good price that sounds great and plays in tune. Nicely made and comfortable to hold and use and the stem move freely for quick manoeuvres!

Very good oil for an older instrument.
