His tone was  slightly altered after he went to the up-bent horn. listen to recordings of Diz prior to the bent horn...his tone was brighter when he played the Martin, he later played the King before Faddis gave him a Schilke in the '80's.

bravo Dizzy!

[musicore4]

that's a normal B flat trumpet... I guess custom made... bu still B flat.

[leo88hn]

great work! what type of trumpet is that?

[tbonman1]

the story behind that trumpet,dizzy droped his horn before a session and bent the bell up and like the way it played so he started making horns like that

[MCroach1]

I believe the way the trumpet was bent initially was at a house party of Gillespie's. A guest, in a drunken manner, was fooling around with another guest, lost his balance and fell onto Dizzy's horn while it was on its short stand, subsequently bending the bell way up

[kktrumpet]

actually.....im pretty sure it was because someone sat on it accidentally

[dtb2111]

it doesnt alter the tone of the trumpet at all..he just liked the way it looked

[andrewar1993]

he specifically kept it that way because the bend constricted the tone, if what your saying as true, then a cornet would sound like a trumpet. the curve changes everything. In fact, to me, it makes him Dizzy

[churchlandsmuso4life]

it's not the curve that makes the alters the sound but the difference between the cornet is that the bell starts to "widen"(if you get what i mean) at 2/3 of the whole thing for a trumpet it's 1/3 thats why the sound of a cornet is softer and the trumpet sound is more piercing and clear.

[andrewar1993]

theres no cornet involved here where talking about dizzys horn versus a regular trumpet

[churchlandsmuso4life]

it was you who talked about a cornet before and i was just explaining it to you as you mixed something up.

[andrewar1993]

ah i see and yea that would make sense

[jampoles]

I accidentally bent the bell of my trumpet and it didn't sound good at all until I got it fixed.
