Monette Trumpets and Mouthpieces
My favorite trumpet maker. I play Monette trumpets and mouthpieces for much of my playing.

Schilke Trumpets
Schilke makes great Piccolo, F/G and Eb/D Trumpets! They are fantastic and a great bunch of guys at the shop in Chicago! Currently I utilize a Schilke G1-L in F and G for recital, recording, and chamber music performances.

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!
