   Thanks to Jenny at Duchy Brass for her help in my recent purchase of a 1980s Besson euphonium. I was apprehensive at buying an instrument that old unseen and untried. But my worries were unfounded. It arrived, beautifully packaged on time, and is in fantastic condition. Better than I was lead.to believe ! Excellently prepared and in superb playing condition. Recommend Duchy Brass. Thanks again.

   Just taken delivery of a lovely British made Sovereign Tenor Horn from Jenny at Duchy. It was in excellent condition for the price advertised, it is very hard to see the very few dents. Jenny was very helpful in answering my questions by e-mail and directing me to the FAQs on the web-site. The instrument arrived beautifully packaged and in a timely manner. Sound quality is excellent and it helped win the Instrumental Ensemble at Llangollen International Eisteddfod! I could not be more pleased by the quality and service offered by Duchy Brass!

   I purchased a pre-owned Yamaha Bb cornet from Duchy Brass and I’m very pleased with the instrument and the process in all. The instrument arrived to my address in about one week and the condition was excellent as expected. I can highly recommend the services of Duchy Brass!

    Many thanks for the two Geneva Bb cornets which arrived promptly and were in fantastic condition, just as you had said they would be. The whole process from the first email enquiry to receiving our two new cornets was streamlined, with great communication throughout. I will certainly be visiting Duchy Brass for any further instrument requirements we may have. The trade in process for our old instruments was simple and easy to arrange, with pick up arranged to my convenience which was a bonus! Thanks again, Jenny!

    Ordered a used mouthpiece – expecting the general condition that I see in our band old and used mouthpieces box……
    The mouthpiece delivered would have passed for new. Beautifully packed and quickly delivered.

    I stumbled across the Duchy Brass website while digging through a Google search for a used professional-quality trumpet for my son. Am I ever glad I did! I had spent a few prior months watching Ebay and Reverb in North America, but everything seemed to be well-used and I was nervous about buying a used horn without trying it first. Jenny had just the horn we were looking for, and she assured us that it was in tip top condition. And, indeed, it was. Like new! Shipping and import into Canada was very easy and fast. I was absolutely delighted by the service, price, and quality of the instrument we received, and can’t recommend Duchy Brass enough. Tell all your musician friends. 🙂

    Without knowing anything about Duchy Brass I bought a Besson Sovereign Eb tuba for 3995 GBP. (A lot of money for me!)
    I´m living in Sweden and had no possibility to visit store to play the horn.. However; when tuba was delivered it was a beautiful instrument. And it blows so well and fulfilled all my expectations.
    I can really recommend Duchy Brass to any potentially brass buyer!

    I purchased two 2nd hand mouthpieces from Duchy Brass.
    The transaction was simple & went straight through.
    The package arrived when it was supposed to, well packed & the mouthpieces were exactly as advertised.
    If anyone can tell me the difference between the two 2nd hand I bought & new ones, I would take my hat off to them.
    Perfect transaction with a genuine company & people.
    I can recommend Duchy Brass 100%

    Simply outstanding!

    I cannot praise the service we received from Duchy Brass highly enough. Buying an instrument of significant value long distance having never seen or tested it in person would usually be a gamble, but you are in safe hands here! The excellent communication and photos meant we were confident in our purchase and when the instrument arrived it surpassed our expectations. Our son is beyond delighted with his tuba and we will be shopping here again in the future for sure!!

    The BH Imperial euphonium arrived safely and was in wonderful shape. It plays beautifully. I’m sure I will enjoy it for many years to come. It’s hard to find quality instruments these days. Your shop is a wonderful resource.
