MARCH 31, 2022 - ''Picking up my new Bb trumpet made by my friend Mark Geelen, who is a fantastic trumpet player and craftsman! With an eye for detail and quality Mark has developed his own ideas into a new line of trumpets that are truly unique. The sound is so rich in colours that I can direct it in any way my imagination wants it to go. The feel of the trumpet makes me relaxed and to just let the horn sing. Mark looks at the person behind the instrument and builds a trumpet that allows the unique qualities of the player come out. This instrument is the best Bb trumpet I've played on. There is a lot of heart put into the making of it and that quality is defenitely shining through! ''
Thank you Mark! VISIT: https://www.mgtrumpets.com/
