As some of you may know I have been working with Steve and his great company for some time on some designs. Today is the day I might as well make it official that I am officially a Bell Trumpet and Flugelhorn artist. The experience with Steve has been nothing than extraordinary! I never thought when I started the conversations with Steve about carrying his line we'd get here. It was never mentioned or even inferred.

The first thing I learned about Steve is that he’s deeply committed to making incredible instruments that are absolutely dialed in to the client’s needs. I have never seen this much passion and dedication… Steve is relentless in the absolute best way. During the initial testing I have to be honest I wasn’t that into the trumpets for ME. I thought for our clients these were going to be incredible options but I have some stupendous instruments. Never thought they’d get replaced. Steve kept sending me instruments to try. Each one was closer and closer to the sound in my head… I kept thinking to myself “How is this possible?” After 5-6 versions the horn on the bottom left is absolutely blowing my mind. It feels like a direct connection to my ideas. The cats in the shop even noticed…

It’s not a slight on any other other amazing horns we have in the shop! These Bell trumpets just feel effortless. Truly.

I know Steve and I aren’t done in terms of dialing it in even more which makes me even more excited for this. I hope to get down to the Bell Trumpet showroom after TMEA to really nail things down. ACB is honored to be a Bell Trumpets dealer. Honored! I think this company is going to revolutionize the trumpet world and I am so excited to be now a tiny part of it. As we move forward in 2026 and beyond Bell Trumpets will be a huge part of our mission to provide incredible transformative gear to make YOUR musical lives better!

Thank you Steve, Michelle, and everyone else at Bell Trumpets for being so welcoming and kind!
