Yamaha Artist
I have been a Yamaha Artist for most of my career, and owned just about every Yamaha pro trumpet model since the the first-generation 6335H. (That's the 25th Anniversary Xeno in the pic.)
As a performing artist and clinician I laud and share Yamaha's commitment to music education and relish the opportunity to share my knowledge and love for music with young (or not-so-young) musicians.
