"Missing" Tenor Horn
A Sovereign Tenor Horn and case belonging to the band has gone missing from the vicinity of Stranmillis University College in Belfast. The instrument was in a Courtois case and the police have been notified of its disappearance.
The serial number of the instrument is known and the band would ask anyone who knows of its whereabouts or is offered an instrument for sale to carefully check that it is not the missing one. If you are in any doubt contact Des Graham for further advice.0 Comments 234 days
