Trumpeter Wallace Roney has earned his status amongst the jazz elite by playing with the greatest artists in history, such as Tony Williams, Ornette Coleman, Herbie Hancock, Art Blakey, Elvin Jones, Chick Corea, Wayne Shorter and of course his mentor, Miles Davis. His trumpet of choice is the legendary Martin Committee given to him by Miles. Wallace insists that he plays Martin not only because of Miles’s influence but because he’s tried every trumpet out there, putting them through the test of scales, arpeggios, evenness, articulation, and most important—sound—and he found the Martin Committee the best. Now, with the release of the Kanstul 1603, we have a faithful recreation of the classic Committee, and players everywhere can experience the magic of the horn preferred by Miles, Dizzy, Roy Eldridge, Fats Navarro, Chet, Blue Mitchell, Maynard, Kenny Dorham, Art Farmer, and classical trumpeter Armando Ghittila.

As Wallace says about his Kanstul Model 1603+, “This is absolutely the best horn I’ve ever played—it has the playing characteristics of the classic horn given to me by Miles. It plays immaculately, like the best Committee you could find. In this trumpet I hear the sound of the greats, and the sound of the future.”
