the monette website has a bunch of pictures of wynton's trumpet and his more recently constructed coronet. (thanks for the tip massvm.) the trumpet has the mouthpiece "built-in" and is decorated in several motifs. both of the instuments pictured are real works of art. i beleive he uses the instruments regularly. he played the trumpet pictured on the website and on "jazz" when i saw him a couple years ago.
Marsalis's horn on "JAZZ"
Has anyone noticed the horn that Marsalis is using on the Jazz documentary? It appears to be some kind of "moulded " design rather than having distinct tubes of bent brass. This is probably some common thing to you that can actually play such an instrument, but, I have never seen a horn like this. What gives? Can any players enlighten me?
