The Best Christmas Gifts for Brass Players? Easy; conductors with a slight hearing deficiency. Composers that don’t write
PP and... a free bar!!
Unfortunately, I don’t think Santa can provide my wishes, neither can
Normans Musical Instruments. We can provide some brilliant Christmas gifts that will make any brass musician ecstatic and merrily on high!
A Star is Born
Let us start with the very best of presents anyone could wish for. A beautiful, pristine, quality, high-end instrument. The brand new and exclusive
Montreux Brass Instrument Range is taking the UK by storm. Designed by the very best, for the very best. Using the ethos and historical quality of Boosey & Hawkes as a blueprint. The Montreux Brass Range has received nothing but the highest of reviews.
Using only the finest materials and precision engineering during production, the sound quality will astound you. And when you see the price, you will think all your Christmas’s have come at once!
Montreux have provided an exceptional, professional range of instruments that cease to amaze. Each of the
Cornet, Tenor Horn, Baritone, Euphonium and Eb Tuba sound similar to the most expensive instruments on the market (at a fraction of the cost).
No corners have been cut in the design and build quality of this range. From the advanced tuning triggers on the Cornet, the ergonomic shape of the Tenor Horn, to the fully compensating Euphonium. All perfectly finished with a deep and resonant Silver plate and protected in a deluxe case. Montreux really is the ‘star’ for you to follow this Christmas!
Sonata Baby
Do you know someone who wishes for their first Brass Instrument as this year’s Christmas gift? You’ve hit the jackpot, I introduce you to our bestselling Sonata range.
Designed as a quality and affordable student instrument range, Sonata meet all the demands of enthusiastic beginners.
Manufactured using fine yellow-brass for an easy and bright sound production. Each instrument will not disappoint. From the reliable valves, to the smooth slides, each instrument offers a great entry level of playability.
Cornet,
Trumpet,
Tenor Horn,
Trombone,
Baritone,
3-Valve and
4-Valve Euphonium, and
the Eb compact Tuba are the pinnacle of value-for-money. Every musicians dream scenario.
Personally, I am astounded at the cost vs quality. The sound, ease of playing, the tone and projection... even the cases are magnificent.
There is no puzzle or anagram to solve this Christmas, “
O Santa, please, please, can I have a
Sonata”!
Silent Night
Possibly the most ideal gift to buy a Brass Player this Christmas (or any time of year!).
The
Yamaha Silent Brass practice system. It mutes the sound of your instrument far better than standard practice mutes. It lets you enjoy the full sound of an open instrument through the high-quality headphones.
Silent Brass uses cutting edge digital audio processing technology to take your sound authenticity to the next level. Now the sound is cancelled out in the microphone mute simulating your instrument as if you were playing without a mute.
Yamaha provide these superb systems for
Cornet/Trumpet,
Flugel Horn,
French Horn,
Trombone,
Euphonium and
Tuba.
Ideal for you………and your neighbours!!
Stocking Fillers (mind you, I’m going nowhere near the socks of the Tuba Section!!)
Here are my ‘Top 5 Accessories for Brass Players’;
-
Instrument Stand; keep your ‘hooter’ safe on a dedicated stand from makers such as K&M, Sonata, and Hercules. Available for Cornets, Trumpets, Trombones, Flugel Horn and even Tuba!
