Testimonials
Adam Wright - Trumpeter at Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
Phil Parkers has been my brass shop of choice for more the 25 years. Since I was a student at The Royal Academy of Music and throughout my playing career, Parkers has been my go-to place for new instruments, all the accessories you could need, repairs, mouthpiece mods and everything in between.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff always on hand, it’s all you need.
Paul Fisher - Lead Brass Teacher, Hertfordshire Music Service.
We have been buying Phil Parker Series 1 brass
instruments for our schools for many years. As class sets and also for individual students. Many hundreds in total. We have had zero warranty problems and no manufacturing defects.
Great valves and slides mixed with good intonation and sound quality make these instruments the ideal choice for our young brass players. I will happily recommend them to all as an ideal instrument for beginners through to grade 5 students.
Theon Cross - Award Winning Tuba Player and Composer
I have used Phil Parker's as my first call for tuba repairs and general brass services throughout my career and they've constantly provided a great friendly service with attention and care. I'd recommend them to all brass players in need of anything brass related in
London.

Hire an instrument
Learning a brass instrument is a fun and accessible way to introduce yourself or your child to music, but we understand that the cost to buy an instrument up front can be daunting. Here at Phil Parker Ltd, we offer an excellent value instrument hire scheme which ensures that you or your child can play a quality instrument at a fraction of the cost of a new one.
