It’s good to have great friends in the business world and Josh Landress has always been there for ACB since we have opened our doors. He’s a trusted friend, someone I can bounce ideas off of, an amazing businessman, and incredible craftsman!
I have asked him for years (maybe a decade) to make me one of his custom trumpets… I first played one at the 2011 NAMM show (I think that was the year… I’m lucky to remember what I had for breakfast most days lately!) and was simply blown away by the ease of playing and incredible centering.
Fast forward a few years to the current 2020 pandemic and I twisted his arm to convince him to try to make a few more new instruments. I supplied him with these amazing Adams valve blocks these are from the A5 trumpet which I think is the best valve block Adams makes. Every other part of this trumpet was completely handmade by Josh.
I think this is quite possibly the easiest trumpet I have ever played. Smooth, rich, brilliant, fluid… it really has everything one could hope for!
My particular one has a lightweight bronze bell and also a bronze leadpipe. I think that really helps the overall performance and sound color palette which is immense!
There’s still a few of these trumpets available so you should definitely reach out to Josh and his amazing team at J Landress brass:

Another quick shoutout to my brother Michael Barkley… all the trumpet clips on this video are 100% raw and un-edited. I am using (literally for the first time on any video) his Infinity G2 Microphone and it’s fantastic. I think we’ll be selling these soon but in the meantime order one today at:

Y’all know my house rule for my personal collection… one horn in/ one horn out! So I have listed a bunch of amazing instruments for sale

What would you like to hear me play on this trumpet? I will post a high-quality mixed audio version of the most popular request! Post your comments here!
And you need more explanation marks 😜
Concerto D' Aranjez
A delight to hear you demonstrate what is possible on the trumpet, across so many genres.
So glad to hear you play some classical stuff on this horn. Really shows it off. J. Landress is such a great shop and crew!
Gorgeous horn and plays incredibly well! Was lucky to give them a try at his shop just the other week.
The horn is special for sure!
wooo that clip of soul eyes on the FX was beautiful. one of my favorite tunes. this sounds like a beast of a horn
Thanks brother you sounded great on that clip you posted recently!
@@austincustom Thank you!
So many great super horns out there. Thanks Trent for keeping us updated. Love your work
Thanks for watching
You sound great, and the most amazing trumpet I've heard you demo. Wow! I thought during the video I could listen to you noodle on that for the entire day. Amazing!
Probably you have not seen video about Bòhme Tumultus or Thane performance.
Sounds so good, Trent! And what a work of art! Bauerfeind valves are amazing.
Thanks for checking out the video! It is wonderful!
I'm glad he tried different mouthpieces and revealed the makes. A good quality mouthpiece is essential to getting the best out of your horn. If you are going to drop thousands on a pro quality horn also get a pro quality mouthpiece to go with it.
In fact, get a variety of mouthpieces of different makes, cups and sizes.
Dang, this and the Martin #3 comm with nickel bell are my favorite so far.
Recently had the pleasure to try out one of their small bore trombones. OMG, that thing sang like a bird!
So I need to hop in the car and drive down to KC and try this thing...
And BBQ!

How about the T.Charlier #17
How about it?
Trent, is it Model 1?
This trumpet seems easy to play. At the risk of insulting you, the things you played on this trumpet appeared so easy that it seems like anyone could play the same things with ease. Did this trumpet play that easy for you? The first mouthpiece also seemed to play everything the other two did easier than the other two. Did that mouthpiece on this trumpet feel that way to you? As a non-brass player who is occasionally forced to play trumpet, this video gave me the false hope that I would have a shot at sounding good on trumpet. This trumpet in this video seemed that easy to play. Does it feel lile that to you? I have heard you sound amazing on these videos with other instruments, but I would be hard pressed to find a video here that you sounded better on than this video. Yes, I mean that as a compliment. I know you bring a lot of ability to the instruments, but this one just seems so very easy. I am shocked. I hope I have not offended you here. You, along with this trumpet, just made everything seem so easy. Congratulations on this horn. This is a great fit for you. You deserve it.
That's the reason for the title! It's a superb trumpet. But of course trumpets don't play themselves ;-)
@@austincustom This one almost appeared to play itself. The video is shocking at how easy to play this trumpet looked.
indeed it seem like the easiest horn you played on a video so far (from what i had the chance to see, ha! )
Dang, this and the Martin #3 comm with nickel bell are my favorite so far.
