Smith-Watkins Pro Level Mike Lovatt (ML Model) Bb Trumpet
The Smith-Watkins ‘ML’ model Professional Bb Trumpet was created in collaboration with Mike Lovatt and Richard Smith, and is handcrafted in Yorkshire, England.
Built for the serious performer, this instrument delivers a broad, powerful sound with minimal effort, thanks to the specially designed ‘ML’ leadpipe. The model also features distinctive laser-etched ‘Smith-Watkins’ finger buttons as a standard detail.
Throughout his career, Mike Lovatt has performed with all of the UK’s top ten symphony orchestras, as well as ensembles including London Brass, SuperBrass, the BBC Concert Orchestra, BBC Big Band, and the orchestras of the Royal Ballet and Royal Opera House.
In 2013, he was awarded the Hon.RAM degree by the Royal Academy of Music and appointed to the Derek Watkins Chair of Trumpet. He also serves as Professor of Trumpet at the Royal College of Music.
As a design consultant for Smith-Watkins Trumpets, Cornets and Flugel Horns, Mike Lovatt has exclusively performed on instruments crafted for him by Richard Smith since 1994.
