Hello Steve!

 Da> We have heard here in the states that Black Dyke has gone to
 Da> using Yamaha Cornets.

 Da> Is this true?

Black Dyke is sponsored by Boosey & Hawkes. That's why Black Dyke doesn't
compete in the All England Masters at Cambridge, because this major event is
sponsored by Yamaha. The trombone-player of Black Dyke, Chris Jeans, doesn't
want to play on a Besson, he prefers Courtois. Chris Jeans is sponsored
privately by Courtois now and so Courtois wanted to advertise with the name of
Chris Jeans. Boosey reacted by this in telling Courtois that they are not
allowed (??) in doing this, so Courtois puts the name of Chris Jeans in their
advertisements without the name of Black Dyke (but "free-lance").

So the answer is, NO. (BNFL and some players of Grimethorpe play Yamaha).

By the way: Why is this so important for you to know?  

Bye,

Eric
