Harrelson Trumpets
Jason Harrelson is a master trumpet builder. He has built me a fabulous Summit C Custom Trumpet. Jason is innovative and offers custom build options that are unique. A very down to earth guy that is constantly innovating. Highly recommended! I believe that Jason is the most innovative trumpet maker out there now.
Monette Trumpets and Mouthpieces
I play a Monette 900 series B-flat trumpet and utilize Monette mouthpieces for all of my instruments. My mouthpiece of choice for all-around playing is the Monette 2 and 3 weight B/C 1-5M.
Scherzer Trumpets
I really enjoy the Scherzer rotary instruments. Much of my recording and ceremonial work is done on one of their Bb/A four valve piccolo trumpets! I utilize an early Monette AP2 heavy shank piccolo trumpet mouthpiece with this instrument.
