The small print Present or past players from any of the orchestras, their families, musical directors, employees of Southampton Music Service and others closely connected with the Orchestras, are welcome to place ads on this page. These are typically for instruments for sale or wanted, concert attire and related services. One photo, sized to a maximum of 100 x 200 piels, landscape or portrait, may be included for a suggested minimum donation of £2. Other individuals (without a direct connection) are welcome to post a small ad, again for a suggested minimum donation of £2. (Cheques should be made payable to "Friends of Southampton Youth Orchestras" and passed to a member of the Committee.) Recommendations for retailers, repairers and other music-related professional services are welcome from players: such recommendation does not imply endorsement by FSYO. To enquire about paid-for advertising either on the website or in concert programmes, please contact a member of the Committee.
All small ads have a limit of 50 words, and may be taken offline after 3 months if not renewed. The Webmaster's decision is final in all respects.
