From: Steven Mumford: I remember reading quite awhile ago about an Egyptian
trumpet player who had an extra quarter tone valve added to his trumpet because
the traditional music he grew up with used quarter tones and he wanted to be
able to play that style of music on the trumpet.
The American Jazz/Avant Garde trumpet player Don Ellis had the same exact
thing.
Holton even listed his model trumpet in their catalog almost to the 1990's I
believe. Listen to the album "Electric Bath" for a good example of what
quarter tones [and other extended techniques] can sound like with someone who
understands them.
