I’m proud to know and work with some of the finest craftsmen in the business.

Vennture Mouthpieces is unlike anything else in the industry. VennCAD is a free CAD software specifically for mouthpieces that allows you to easily prototype designs with 3D printing. Over time as I grow as a player and as my demands change, the equipment follows suit.

(Each and every one of the mouthpieces featured in the Vennture section below have been replaced with new models… I am choosing to leave the page as it is as a reminder of where my equipment journey started.)

Van Laar Trumpets and Flugelhorns are handmade in Margraten, Netherlands. While visiting the factory, I came across a trumpet that I knew I’d never forgive myself if I let it go. With each of these instruments, I knew they were ‘the one’ right away.

In 2022 the world lost a great man with the passing of Hub Van Laar. I will continue to cherish these works of art and honor his legacy by always keeping these instruments in my collection.

Barkley Microphones are made by Michael Barkley in Northern Ireland. These microphones are quickly becoming the next big thing in the trumpet world. They capture the trumpet extraordinarily well with a vintage sound with performance that holds up in the 21st century.
