Get to know trumpet player and Yamaha Artist Frank Wellert

Statement about your relation with Yamaha or your instrument:

I know Yamaha from the time when Eddie Veit from the Yamaha Atelier visited me in Frankfurt some years ago. Since then, we have already tested many instruments and I can say that I really like my Trumpet and Flugelhorn!

How does your instrument helps you in your daily life as an artist?

The best features are – the tuning is great, notes slot in well, separates well and you can still create your own sound.

How would you characterise your instrument?

It is a perfectly balanced lead trumpet.

Who was your most influential teacher and is there any advice which you still follow?

Yes indeed, Claus Stötter (NDR Big Band and Yamaha Artist):
"If it doesn't sound good, nobody wants to hear it, and if it's not in time, nobody wants to hear it either".

What would be your advice for a young musician?

Have a listen to the old records too.
