from 700 reviewsFirst time buyer using the web site .didnt know what to expect just hoped i got what i paid for ect.
Well it exceeded my expectations and delivered well packed . Online service very good.
Although quite bulky (and expensive) the SoundCatcher is the perfect silent practice tool. My trumpet practice in one room, with the door closed, can barely be heard in the next room and not heard at all if the TV is on.
Im really pleased with this mute. I've used it at band a few times now and its lovely to have my own one. It was easy to buy and it arrived very quickly. Thank you.
Wonderful saxophone. Thank you so much x
Super instrument for beginners, very manageable and good sound production.
Great case, feels like it’s “bullet proof”. Really happy with it, great locks, easy to carry, 2Kgs lighter than my original case.
I’m really pleased with my new K&G 3B Cornet Mouthpiece. The very comfortable rim and medium deep cup gives me a great traditional brass band sound as well as superb flexibility over my entire range. In my opinion, this particular model falls somewhere between a Denis Wick 4 & 4B by comparison. A great all rounder. I can highly recommend this mouthpiece. Chris North.

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.
what is not to like? priced fairly, delivered promptly.
Great kit, good quality and well packaged.
lovely case, really good quality, recommended!
Cornet is spot on
Lovely instrument.
Plays beautifully and valves are brilliant. Really pleased.
I have a synthetic clarinet, however the barrel and bell are cocobolo wood. I am happy with this bore oil. :)
Delivered promptly, thanks
