![]() | 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.

| New Friend | 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
