Martin Band Instrument Co. Handcraft Dansant Trumpet Elkhart, Indiana 1923 - 1932 "New Martin Trumpet Makes Debut" The June 9th, 1923 edition of The Music Trades had this announcement to make. "Elkhart, Ind., June 4 - The Martin Band Instrument Co. has introduced a new trumpet which is scoring very heavily with musicians and the trade generally. It is known as the Dansant model and is in Bb and A. It has a new bore and taper and the tone is unusually brilliant and flexible.

New York trumpeter Vincent C. Bruno wrote, "I want to record herewith my admiration for the new Martin trumpet, which I have been playing recently. I have performed on it for the last week or two at all the concerts of the Damrosch Orchestra, of which I am a member. The instrument is satisfactory from all standpoints. It is free and easy blowing, well in tune, and of superior tonal quality. I am happy to say that I am so pleased with the instrument that I have adopted it for future use." Vincent Carmine Bruno was born in Italy in 1875 and came to Brooklyn in 1890 as a musician. He was a studio player for Columbia Graphophone, played for the Damrosch Orchestra, and later was a studio teacher. He died in Brooklyn in 1965 after a long career in music.

The past year or two has seen a tremendous advance of the trumpet in importance and popularity. Knowing this, the designers and builders of the new Martin trumpets were inspired to an achievement that will, we predict, remain forever unsurpassed, the new Martin Dansant and Symphony trumpets representing as near perfection in musical and mechanical excellence as is humanly possible to attain."
