BoBmALoNE “The guy’s got a streak of genius in him,” jazz trumpeter Bobby Shew says of brass instrument artisan Bob Malone, which is like the pot calling the kettle “brilliant.” With a background that includes professional trumpet performance and master class instruction with a deep knowledge of physics, acoustics and metallurgy, Malone can customize brass instruments to fine-tune their feel in the artist’s hands, note-to-note flexibility, tonal color and other critical properties. If they want a trumpet that plays a little darker, I can hedge it, for example,” Malone explains. If they want it brighter, I can do that. Every musical instrument has its eccentricities. The idea is to make the instrument as responsive as possible, to make the intonation the best that it can be.
