| Hello,
I currently play on a 1952, satin gold plated Martin Committee Deluxe with a Monette B4S MP. This is a great trumpet with a really smooth sound. I use this for most of my playing, but I also have a silver plated Puje with a Curry TF mouthpiece for situations where I want to have a smoother, darker sound. For gigs that call for a cornet, I play on a 1931 Martin Handcraft cornet with a sparx mouthpiece. The trumpet I keep in my car for those spontaneous playing opportunities is a Kanstul pocket trumpet with a Kanstul MB4S MP. This is actually a free blowing trumpet with a very good sound with decent intonation. A lot of the Christmas music I've been playing lately is on the Jupiter flugelhorn with the rose brass bell. This is a nice sounding flugelhorn with good intonation. Also it was quite inexpensive.
