This listing is for a NEAR-MINT condition LARGE Bore Martin Committee Trumpet CLASSIC Design (made prior to Leblanc’s redesign by Larry Ramirez)! Included is a Martin Committee hard case and two Martin mouthpieces (sizes 7 and 10). While the trumpet is in near mint condition (see all photos), the case and mouthpieces are only in functional used condition (functional but not pretty). The gold colored lacquer is 100% ORIGINAL LACQUER with slight discolorations and tiny areas of imperfections that is the only reason it is not listed in mint condition (zoom in on all photos).

Description:

The CLASSIC design and the LARGE bore are the most desirable combination of Martin Committee features for many of the most famous trumpet players, past and present, from Maynard Ferguson to Chris Botti (just to mention two of a long list of famous Large Bore Classic Committee players).

Again, this LARGE bore Martin Committee CLASSIC design is NOT the redesigned Martin Committee that Larry Ramirez redesigned. The story goes that Mr. Schilke met Larry Ramirez [the designer of the new Committee] at [Schilke's] last Brass Conference before he died [in 1982], and in his usual gruff way strolled over to the Martin booth, and said "let me see what you all did with my trumpets!" He looked at it, then looked at Larry and said, "Boy, you all really messed up my horn, you all don't know what you are doing over there." Larry humbly said to him, "Master Schilke, I humbly respect you, can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong?" Mr. Schilke smiled, and put his arm around him, took him in the back, and told him everything for hours.

The trumpet offered in this listing has the CLASSIC design, with a 5XXXXX serial number, which were built by Leblanc in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in the early to mid-1970s by SPECIAL ORDER for Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, and other performers who special ordered these new 5XXXXX Committee trumpets BEFORE the Larry Ramirez redesign released in the late 1970s. All of the redesigned Committees have 7XXXXX+ serial numbers.

Please note that there is additional information about these special ordered 5XXXXX serial numbered Committees available online.

Recommendation by trombone.gallery:

Proper care and maintenance include applying valve oil and slide grease on a regular basis. I recommend using valve oil before every use for optimal performance and longevity.
