Trumpets That Work
Sorry, trumpet fans ... there is no 2017 Calendar. But look for the Trumpets That Work book, which will be available for Christmas 2017.
Thanks for your interest in the 2017 calendar. I am so glad you appreciate all of the work I have done to create the trumpet calendars to date. I am not producing a 2017 calendar, but that is so I can devote more time to compiling and expanding all of the previous calendars into a book that (if all goes well) will be available for purchase in time for Christmas of 2017!
What will be in the book?
This will be a beautiful full color coffee table style book that will contain additional trumpets not featured to date. It will also have some additional chapters about trumpet design history, trumpet playing physics, and other trumpet related histories of players, genres and specific manufacturers.
How can I order the new book?
Bookmark this site and check back in the fall of 2017 to find out where to purchase the book!
