Known as a master bell maker, Andy Taylor has also introduced one-piece machined leadpipes and is always keen to innovate. With a flair for the aesthetic side of trumpet design, Taylors are often seen with all sorts of funky designs.

Best known amongst jazz players, the Taylor trumpet range now includes instruments suitable for all genres. Taylor also make flugels, the occasional cornet and other more unusual horns by request.
