The JP trumpet and trombone we’re back out and on the stand for a gig this past weekend. I really do like playing these horns. This is a student model trumpet and trombone that costs less than half what some other student mode trumpets and trombones cost but I cannot tell a difference! Send me a message if you want to get one! Really pumped to be carrying these horns at DoG Street Music.

Took the new John Packer trumpet and trombone out on a recent gig and… they fit the set perfectly.

Easy response, solid intonation, and that kind of feel that lets you focus on the music instead of the gear. These horns held their own all night.

Both are now available through DoG Street Music 🎺🎶
