Taiki Tajiri

Solo trumpeter, flugelhorn player and composer from Japan

When I first played a Van Laar trumpet, it felt like holding my girlfriend’s hand. It has a rich overtones, precise intonation, perfectly smooth pistons, and beautifully crafted exterior. I believe Van Laar instruments are the ultimate tools of expression, allowing me to translate my emotions into music in every musical situation. I was born in 1990 — the same year Van Laar was founded. I hope to touch hearts all over the world through Van Laar instruments.
