Dear Members of the Orchestra.
I have left John Packers after 15 years as brass manager. I am now working full time on my website - www.oncelovedmusicalitems.co.uk - and I would be happy to assist any member of the orchestra in the purchase or sale of instruments or accessories.Although at the present time it consists of mainly brass I would be more than happy to assist with woodwind and strings. If you have a few moments spare please have a look at my website. Thank you - Steve Herbert - French Horn.
If you have anything suitable to post, please do get in touch with me. Thanks - Phil
