Wynton Marsalis trumpet

Does Marsalis use the same trumpet for classical and jazz?

@curlydoc
For jazz most of the videos I've seen him in he is playing his Monette Prana. The trumpets I've see him using for classical music I can't identify but they are definitely not his Monette Prana.

@curlydoc Wyntons classical recordings are relatively old. I remember the Hummel on a Schilke Eb and the Picc stuff also on a Schilke.
I think that if he were to make a current recording, he probably would get a made to purpose horn from Dave Monette.

Yes, I would definitely agree.
I do recall seeing and listening to a video where he accompanies a classical female singer, and he was playing a Flugel, which was probably a Monette. I wish I had saved the video because Wynton was heavier and older than those early videos of him playing the Haydn Trumpet Concertos.

He doesn't play classical. I don't think he has since the 1980s or 1990s. Back then, I believe that he played a Bach Vindabona trumpet with a 72 bell.

I owned one of those Bach Vindabona 72 trumpets. One of the trumpets I regret ever selling.

Well, you know-the pain from Spain falls mainly in the plain.

Please explain

It's a play on words on the old elocution exercise, "The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain".

There's (or was) a well-known Rogers & Hammerstein song in "My Fair Lady" that uses it.

Yes. I knew that. My post was an addition to the poem, which also rhymed, in case you didn’t notice. “……mainly on the plain” please explain. See?

Rather obtuse, LOL But yes. I get it.
