BEAUTIFUL VINTAGE MARTIN COMMITTEE TRUMPET, RESTORED SILVER FINISH WITH FULL DRESS GOLD FULL DRESS.  ML BORE ENGRAVING WAS RESTORED BY ARTISTIC ENGRAVING LIKE NEW AS SHOWN IN PICTURES Perry D??Andrea describes the features of the classic Committee and attempts to understand its popularity. The old Committee has a warm-dark-amber-glow to the sound that no other horn can come close to duplicating. There's no other horn out there, new or old, that plays quite like a Committee. Some of the brand new pro horns of various makes have a "fatter" sound, that new, fat, spread-out, big-bottom sound with a biting, projecting edge that bounces off the back wall, that almost ALL new pro horns have. It almost has a cliched commercial quality to it, it's become so rampant now. And it has less density. That sound is nothing like the much denser yet still rounded warm, pancakes on the griddle in the back room sound of the Committee. As I understand it, the unique feature of the older Committees that was so much dug by the vintage jazz players was the fact that the Committees did NOT slot well. Rather than bite into a pitch, the Committees easily slid up and down on a pitch. I feel that about my 1949 Committee and use it for that effect. Players, like Miles, who loved to manipulate individual pitches, naturally gravitated to the Committee. Of course, that's the same feature that others describe as difficult intonation.
