John Packer

Super instrument for beginners, very manageable and good sound production.

Great case, feels like it’s “bullet proof”. Really happy with it, great locks, easy to carry, 2Kgs lighter than my original case.

I’m really pleased with my new K&G 3B Cornet Mouthpiece. The very comfortable rim and medium deep cup gives me a great traditional brass band sound as well as superb flexibility over my entire range. In my opinion, this particular model falls somewhere between a Denis Wick 4 & 4B by comparison. A great all rounder. I can highly recommend this mouthpiece. Chris North. Principal Cornet, Old Silkstone Brass Band.

I play in a brass band in East Sussex alongside experienced players with higher end cornets who listen to, and look upon, this beautiful instrument with envy. I bought the lacquered version last year and it really does sound amazing. It gives a lovely, rich, mellow sound, and is relatively free blowing providing easy reach of upper register notes. The valves spring reassuringly quickly, and overall this is simply a brilliant instrument.

My daughter announced the day before her school'school's jazz night that she needed this specific mute.

I found that my local music store was closed.
I ordered from John Packer in the afternoon and opted for express delivery (more in hope than expectation). It arrived at midday the next day, less than 24 hours later!

Ordered 3 they only had two and sent me tgose, 3rd arrived 2 days latwr. Excellent

Fast service.
All good

Great service and quick delivery

I haven't tried these reeds before, only Rico. I like them. They sound crisp and clean. I'll still use Rico reeds, which I find make a softer sound, so I will enjoy having the variety. People say Vandoren are a bit thicker and stiffer, but I can't say there's all that much difference.

Super product. Best I’ve used

Quick delivery and I'm very pleased with them. (As good as their reeds!) The fact they can be removed easily is a bonus as it took me ages to remove the old (non-vandoren,) one!

Well made and designed product

Great service from John Packer as usual. Speedy delivery a great products.

Great quality.

Great price. Proactive communication when a delay was realised. Still arrived faster than other music shops to the Highlands.
