" York " - A new Era in the History of Brass Instruments begins

In January 2007, the musical instrument manufacturer Schreiber & Keilwerth will present the new brand " York ": two professional series of piston valve brass instruments from cornet to tuba. The instruments will be available in lacquer or silver plate and represent the famous sound of the finest British brass bands.

They are produced in the Schreiber & Keilwerth factory in Markneukirchen ( Vogtland , Germany ), in one of the most advanced wind instrument factories in Europe . Until now, components for brass instruments made in the UK were made in this factory. All components for the new brass instruments line " York " will be made with the existing, historically correct tooling. Thus, musicians will again be offered brass instruments with the typical British brass band sound.

The new " York " brass instruments will be available through authorised dealers from February 2007 onwards.
