Join us for a chat with Stephen Altoft about all things microtonal trumpet, going over mechanics, tuning, and the composition scene. Stephen shows off several trumpets and flugelhorns and their valve systems. Other topics include affordable instruments, conferences, venues, composers, extended techniques, and improvised vs. notated music.
