Bruce Lee is an unknown quantity at this point
Hi, Mario!

Yes, the Callet Jazz is a very nice horn! You will find suble differences from horn to horn. That could be caused by an improper gap, or slight varation in the venturi, or even by a mouthpiece with a worn shank, or one that isn't a good "match" to the horn. Without these factors providing the right "feel", or balance, for the player. We CAN feel differences as small as .0002" in our equipment. So, it's important to consider ALL of these factors when choosing a trumpet.

Callet trumpets, mouthpieces, and the Superchops embouchure may not, as a "collective" entity, work for everyone. However, one or two of those components may be very effective "tools of the trade" for a much larger number of people. No one can fault Jerry Callet for having enthusiasm for his products, or deny him that accomplishment. I would say that it is extremely rare for one person to have the entrepreneurial capacity to offer ALL three "products" to trumpet players. Who wouldn't love to be able to boast that? It doesn't sound all that "kooky", when everything is put into perspective. :)

Best always,
Bruce
