In the attached article and interview with Trombone Shorty, he shares, "I play Edwards Instruments since high school. They sent me a trumpet and trombone when I was 18 years old, and I've just been stuck playing that ... the Edwards T-302 508 Bore and a Generation X prototype trumpet, and I just got comfortable playing with that."
