![]() This is 19" long, has a 4.8" rose brass bell, and a 0.460" bore. The only changes here are the adjustable third slide ring and stop rod. It also is lacking the RMC badge which was on most of their instruments. The example here is probably from late 1964 as it still carries on the Martin serial number sequence just before they switched to the 700000 range. I did read that Reynold Schilke, the original designer of the Committee model, said that he designed this with a cornet lead pipe, tapered tuning slide, rose brass bell, and a fast taper in the bell flair. They changed the Custom Committee TU05 model to the Magna likely just a name change as it looks nearly identical. This illustration below is the model TU05 Custom Committee.īy 1964, RMC was bankrupt and Martin was purchased by Wurlitzer in late June. In 1961, Martin was sold to RMC and in the 1962 catalog, they offered many options for their Committee model trumpets. Both of these models are highly sought after today by professionals and collectors. The Martin Band Instrument Company had produced fine trumpets since the early 1920s and kept improving on past performance in the 1930s with the Imperial model then in the 1940s with the Committee model. ![]()
