Taking trumpets to Trump

Warwick Music Group, the manufacturer of the world’s first all-plastic trumpet, has expanded into the United States.
It is opening a site in Granger, Indiana as it looks to further its “vision of expanding the base of brass players globally”.
The Coventry company created the pTrumpet and the pBone – all-plastic versions of trumpets and trombones – and it has sold 250,000 plastic trombones around the world.
Steven Greenall, Warwick Music Group’s chief executive, said: “Our business has created a wonderful set of products that have found a home in the classrooms of primary schools across the United Kingdom, broadening access and increasing the number of children who play brass instruments.”
It has appointed Branislav Zivkovic as global chief commercial officer and Dr Keith Dye, associate dean and professor of music education at Texas Tech University School of Music, has become Warwick Music Group’s US education specialist.
Mr Greenall added: “We hope that this expansion into the United States and the appointment of Branislav and Keith will further demonstrate our commitment to supporting our customers, educators and music dealers and further our vision of expanding the base of brass players globally.”
The company is exhibiting at NAMM – the National Association of Music Merchants – which begins today in Anaheim, California, and next month it will also be attending the world’s largest music educators’ conference, the Texas Music Educators Association.
