Martin Committee Professional Bb Trumpet Overview

The Martin Committee Professional Bb Trumpet is a vintage professional trumpet associated with classic jazz performance and widely recognized for its flexible response, broad tonal palette, and strong legacy among players influenced by mid-century American brass design.

Condition & Setup

This is a used vintage Martin Committee Professional Bb Trumpet in strong playing condition. The original lacquer is approximately 75–80% present, with wear consistent with age and professional use. The valves are reported by our technician to be excellent, and the instrument appears to have had a recent valve rebuild. This trumpet has been professionally serviced, set up, and play-tested by our brass technicians. We note a small spot of red rot on the underside of the leadpipe which should not pose any issues if kept clean.

Who the Committee Professional Bb Trumpet Is For

The Martin Committee Professional Bb Trumpet is a vintage professional Bb trumpet designed for advanced and professional players who want a classic American jazz trumpet with a flexible response and complex tonal character. Its .453-inch bore supports efficient airflow while allowing the player to shape articulation, color, and dynamic shading with precision.

This model is especially relevant for jazz, small-group work, studio playing, and players seeking the distinctive feel of a mid-century Martin rather than the more standardized response of many modern orchestral trumpets. The Committee is valued for its ability to produce a warm, personal sound that can remain focused without becoming overly bright.

Common Questions About the Martin Committee Trumpet

Is the Martin Committee Professional Bb Trumpet suitable for professional use?

Yes. The Martin Committee is a professional-level Bb trumpet with a long history in jazz and commercial performance. This example has been professionally serviced, set up, and play-tested, and the valves are reported to be excellent.

What is the tonal character of a Martin Committee trumpet?

A Martin Committee trumpet is generally known for a broad, warm, and flexible tone with strong color variation. It is often chosen by players who want a vintage jazz sound with expressive nuance rather than a highly uniform modern trumpet response.

Can I play a trumpet with red rot?

Yes, you can absolutely play a trumpet with red rot, and it is safe to do so. Red rot is a form of corrosion—specifically dezincification—where the zinc leaches out of the brass alloy, leaving behind porous copper. While it permanently damages the metal, it usually progresses very slowly. A trumpet can remain completely playable for years or even decades before the corrosion causes a failure

An outsider's view
Format: Paperback
When it comes to Cliff Atkinson's Beyond Bullet Points, I am a bit of an outsider. I don't read many computer books and, while I have worked with PowerPoint, my presentations are very simple. Since I admittedly use my share of bullet points in these presentations, I thought learning about an alternative approach would be useful. And while there are definite benefits to reading this book, it may not be perfect for everyone. Many people use bullet points in their PowerPoint presentations; this can be a great way to organize thoughts, but Atkinson has a difference approach. Essentially, the Beyond Bullet Points method treats presentations as stories told in three "acts." Act One develops the story, Act Two develops the action and Act Three frames the resolution. Each act is broken down into scenes which provide the details. The first portion of the book explains how to work with each act; the second portion deals with the evolution from initial outline to final presentation. This book assumes a certain amount of PowerPoint knowledge; if you want to learn about the application, this is not the place to start (on the other hand, you don't need to be a PowerPoint expert). One of the nicest things about Atkinson's approach is the way he allows presentations to be pared down to fit the time frame required: his method is designed best with a 45 minute presentation, but it can be easily compressed to a 15 minute or even 5 minute presentation. Another nice thing is that he has a website that readers can access that provides some helpful materials such as template documents. On the other hand, Atkinson treats the issue of bullet points/no bullet points as something of a black-and-white issue. He doesn't really acknowledge that there may be a middle ground where bullet points should be used in certain situations, perhaps even in conjunction with his approach. I think it's more appropriate to view the Beyond Bullet Points as an alternative approach to PowerPoint presentations, not the ONLY approach. Atkinson's writing style is straightforward, and like many computer books, a little dry. But as stated earlier, I am reading this book with something of an outsider's view. This is a good book, but Atkinson's inability to look beyond his own approach keeps it from being a five-star work. Nonetheless, if you do a lot of PowerPoint presentations, there is enough useful material in here to merit a read.

A Refreshing Approach to Presentations
Format: Paperback
I ran across this book while researching a college workshop on perfecting presentation, dealing with public speaking and effective use of PowerPoint. As one who has suffered through numerous electronic slides that did little or nothing to augment the speaker's efforts, I was delighted to see this fresh and innovative approach. I believe this process works best, however, when one's speech is primarily persuasive in nature. Although these ideas helped me set up a strong introduction and conclusion, in a recent lecture I resorted to bullet points for the material I felt the students had to master. Perhaps as I get more used to Atkinson's technique, I'll better about using it in lecture. However, the business applications seem quite worthwhile. My students' workshop presentations that used his techniques were highly engaging. I highly recommend this book and the supporting web site.

Simplistic and Inappropriate
Format: Paperback
I was hoping this book would provide insights into how to present complex information in a more comprehensible, useful format, using PowerPoint as the tool. Instead, the overall gist of this book is that presentations should be "dumbed down" as much as possible. The theme the author presents is that presentations should be story based. This is reasonable. However, the method the author recommends is that essentially *all* meaningful, complex (or, as the author prefers "boring") content be removed from the presentation. Presentations then become nothing more than catchy headlines and colorful graphics. All content should be in the presenter's notes (not typically to be provided). This is juvenile and useless and frankly reflects a complete lack of understanding of how presentations are made in a complex business environment.

On the right track
Format: Paperback
This book is a good introduction about how to use story-telling techniques in PowerPoint presentations. There are some good ideas here that you won't find in technical manuals. If you don't know film techniques these will be eye-opening. But the book could have been much stronger if it were to push these concepts to the next level. I saw a PowerPoint presentation with Andy Goodman, who teaches more or less the same thing, and his presentation nailed these concepts more cleanly than this book does. But again, this book is definitely worth checking out if you haven't studied storytelling before.
