How many trumpets did Louis Armstrong use throughout his entire career?
An excellent question, though I don't know who could give a definitive answer to it - once Armstrong became famous, top-flight instrument manufacturers were offering him (in some cases begging him) to take their instruments, and it's unknown how many - if any - of these he accepted. Further complicating it is the fact that Armstrong came up - and made his reputation - playing cornet, not trumpet (they are two different instruments). Later in his career, he did use trumpet most of the time, though.

What city or country did Louis Armstrong work in?
In the early stages of his career, when he was merely a bandsman playing trumpet in other people's bands, he worked primarily in America. Once he was signed by the Joe Glaser agency, Glaser was determined to promote Louis as a global jazz phenomenon and in so doing make a lot of money for himself. He created the Louis Armstrong All Stars and successfully did this but the cost to Louis was a never ending stream of concerts all around the world, virtually up to the day that he died, with little chance for occasional respites from the arduous round concert after concert after concert. This sheer grind of hard work was probably a factor in Louis' eventual demise.
