Martin model T3460/T3465 "Committee" trumpet

Since the height of the bebop era, jazz musicians like Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Red Rodney and Chet Baker, to name a few, all favored the Martin Committee trumpet because it was the only instrument that would meet their style of music's strict demand for quick response and clear, beautiful tone. Today, the Committee trumpet is still unmatched for superior construction and its distinctive sound that lets players like Wallace Roney put their own fingerprint on the music. The feel, balance and flexibility needed for subtle, intricate jazz passages are just a few of the reasons why Martin Committee trumpets have been used by many jazz greats. Two models, the T3460 and T3465 possess the legendary focus and centering that make Committee famous. The distinctive response of model T3460 produces a tone that can be tinged with brilliance or mellowed to a rich darkness. The T3465 has a larger bore and a broader, more open sound than the T3460.
