Two-thirds (66%) of Americans say that music education prepares someone to manage the tasks of their job more successfully.
Last time we discussed instruments that would be good for those of us who primarily want to play jazz or commercial types of music and left it by discussing studio musicians who may need to do it all. This leads us nicely into the classical side of trumpet playing and the instruments needed for that work. In order of importance here are my suggestions. (Your timeline may vary. Please consult your teacher/professor on when it is appropriate to purchase these instruments)
Beginning Tuesday, April 14th we will be open normal business hours to take phone, email, online orders and to provide contact-free curbside pick-up while our showrooms remain closed. We will also be running a modified delivery route to central locations in local school districts on an as-needed basis and every purchase during the stay at home order will receive free shipping to your home. Please contact us so we can work with you to provide the most convenient arrangements possible to serve you during this current stay-at-home order.
1. Call us at 317-842-2102
It’s best to call ahead so we can get your order or serviced items ready to go prior to your arrival. This will save you time once you’re here.
2. We’ll take your order or prepare your loaner or repair to be picked up.
3. Call us again when you arrive. The number again is 317-842-2102.
4. One of our staff members will bring your items out to you.
We are in a difficult time and find ourselves in uncharted waters. We appreciate your patience as we try to do everything we can to keep our customers and our staff as safe as possible.
Studies have shown that assiduous instrument training from an early age can help the brain to process sounds better, making it easier to stay focused when absorbing other subjects, from literature to tensor calculus.
By now we’ve all probably had some extra time to practice our trombones. If you have the time, but you’ve been lacking motivation, here are some April themed recordings with amazing trombonists to check out. Jim Pugh, Curtis Fuller, and JJ Johnson knock it out of the park on these tunes!
Starting Wednesday, April 8th we will be open our normal business hours to take phone, email, and online orders. Our showrooms will remain closed for now.
Every order during the stay-at-home executive order will receive free shipping.
Our normal business hours are:
M-F: 10am 6pm
SAT: 10am – 4pm
SUN: Closed

“I would say that music is the easiest means in which to express, but since words are my talent, I must try to express clumsily in words what the pure music would have done better.”
I’ve got some news for everyone: I am a trumpet junkie. I have always been fascinated by different brands and models and have even experienced many cases of FOMO (fear of missing out) when it comes to my equipment. I’ve taught several students and have had to have this conversation many times and have even asked for personal recommendations. Today is just a quick look at what instruments you should purchase and when, depending upon your musical path. While it is super difficult to give a recommendation without hearing people play or know what their interests are, I will give some fairly general model recommendations from the “Big Three” brands of trumpets along with a few special suggestions when needed. Today we will discuss instruments needed for those who want to primarily be Jazz/Commercial players and they will be in order of importance. (Your timeline may vary. Please consult your teacher/professor on when it is appropriate to purchase these instruments)
