A huge Congratulations to Black Dyke Band National Champions UK


Director of Music, Prof. Nicholas Childs Comenting on the Winning National Championship Performance said:

"We are all proud of our past but realise it’s what we do in the future which we will be remembered for. Like all good F1 teams we are always looking for upgrades to our instruments.


We are lucky with our partners, Geneva, are always looking for improvements, and eagle eyed musicians would have seen the tenor horn team playing on their new upgraded instruments with the latest trigger mechanism".


It is great to know when the lights go on that the players have the instruments they can trust."

WHO WE ARE

About Geneva Musical Instruments

This website is maintained by Geneva Brasswind Ltd.

Since its formation in 2000 Geneva has prided itself on being at the cutting edge of design and technology in the manufacturing of musical instruments our latest Geneva models continue that tradition.



All the instruments that Geneva sell have been designed to allow the player to achieve their true potential. Central to this has been Geneva’s understanding of the properties of differing metals and how this affects both the sound, tuning and technical flexibility of the full range of Brass Instruments.




Geneva instruments are played by the finest brass bands and players throughout the world and we are proud that the most famous brass band in the world "Black Dyke Band" choose to play our Cardinal Range, which is a superb accolade to our instruments quality.

 

Players of all standards need to be secure in the knowledge that when the chips are down in a big performance the instrument that they have chosen won’t let them down in any way, that they can express themselves fully and without restraint.

 

That's a big ask that puts great pressure on the manufacturer providing those instruments to get it right all the time. We set our standard to allow a well maintained instrument to meet this challenge for the life of the instrument.
