My Callet

I love my Jerome Callet Soloist and it’s still one of the best trumpets I’ve ever played. And although I’ve been playing my Callichio more and more I can’t bare to part with my Callet.

I bought it with my old trumpet teacher and good friend Ashley Morgan, many years ago from Myatts.

It was basically brand new at a fraction of the price. For some reason the person who had owned it needed a fast sale and when I looked at it in Myatts it still had its plastic wrapping around the trumpet itself.

Worth £1400 I got it in the region of £700!! Bargain of the Millennium!!!!

It’s free blowing, has a nice tone and definitely has something great about it that it’s difficult to express unless you have played one.

The Jerome Callet Trumpets are getting more and more difficult to get hold of due to Callet’s business situation but I have heard that there are only 3 Jerome Callet Soloists in the UK in working and playing condition. I know that I have one and so does Neil Yates.

If you have one or know of someone who has one please let me know.

(I’ll post a less Trumpet and Rant Based Post for tomorrow)
