The martin Committee is the all time most popular Jazz Trumpet. It was made from the late 1940's through to 1990's.

Committees, are so called because they were allegedly designed by a team of popular musicians and designers of the day. It features a reverse lead pipe and a bell close coupled at the valve block. These features were supposed to mellow the tone of the instrument.

The truth of the matter is that the Committee probably owed more to the success of canny marketing techniques and paid for endorsements by players such as Miles Davis.

The Committee has been copied by a number of manufacturers, probably the closest was the Lawyer C7.
