"The 4th concept, giving a B-flat range on an E-flat trumpet, proved useful in a recent performance of Walton's Façade at the Barbican - without it I would have had to use two instruments!"

"The Smith-Watkins 4-valved trumpet is much richer sounding than any other E-flat available. This quality was most apparent with the latge works by Mahler, Britten, and Mussorgsky which I recently played."
