rotary vs piston

What is the difference in general between rotary trumpets vs piston trumpets? What advantage is there to having rotary valves?

Cheers

Rotary valve trumpets have a slightly different tone quality that is generally darker and broader than piston valves. Also, they are very difficult to overblow and can take a lot of air so you can play very loudly.

Oh, you have to change sometimes just to be different. I saw the movie The Incredibles this weekend. Fun movie. The avatar is a character from that movie (the guy with the hat is fun, but I have a beard and look nothing like that anyway -- of course I don't look like a cartoon character either, but it is fun). I may have to put a trumpet in his hand

Arturo Sandoval's band was on PBS a year or so ago. (I forget the name of the program.) Anyway, one of the members of his band played a solo on rotary. Jazz in a rotary trumpet! He was superb. Had flawless technique and hit the high notes like Mr. Sandoval. In closing my eyes, I could not tell he was playing a rotary trumpet. By the way, does anyone know his name?

warm regards, cornetmike o-iii-O

That would be Claudio Roditi. You are right, he is a fantastic player.
