    Trying to contact Sterling

    I've been trying to contact Sterling in regards to the progress on my euphonium that is being made. I've received absolutely no communication from them, and it has been quite frustrating. It has been 6 or 7 weeks. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!

    Have you talked to Custom Music? I assume they are the local agent.

      Hi Michael,
      I've tried contacting Custom, but they told me that they are no longer dealing with Sterling. From what they told me, they are ceasing a dealings in euphoniums. It is really puzzling to me, but I guess they feel they need to do that.

        Thanks Ben.

        Lots of changes at Custom over the last few years. I stopped going there after Kevin stopped doing repairs there.

          I'm sad to hear that Kevin is no longer with them. Do you know where he is now? If he is still in the area, I would use him when needed. Thanks for the reply!

              I did some research and found a phone number for Kevin. I'll send it to you in a PM.

                  That's who I am working through. I'm just trying to contact them myself as well.

                    I assume you've tried their email address already? enquries@sterlingbrass.co.uk (note the typo in "enquries" - I think that is the actual email address, if not try the correct spelling).

                    If that doesn't work then maybe Glyn Williams would be able to help, glyn@glynwilliamsmusic.co.uk

                          Hi Ben.

                          Were you able to contact Sterling? Have you received your horn yet?
