Since we began our adventure in 2012, here in Trumpet Magazine we’ve always known that, though founded in Spain, we would eventually be international. Our objective has always been to offer interesting content to trumpet players from all over the world.
That’s why we make an effort day in day out to give you access, through our school, to insights from great teachers from all over the world and that’s why we keep you informed of the many important trumpet related international festivals and events that we are associated with and of course that’s why we have always been associated with the best music stores from all our member’s countries.
When we were looking at music stores in the USA one store immediately came to mind, and that was obviously Dillon Music for many reasons.
Dillon Music is a reference point not just for American brass players but for brass players from all over the world. It’s more than likely that wherever you are from you’ve probably purchased something from Dillon Music or that you know somebody who has. Phil Smith, Wallace Roney, Warren Vaché, Peter Bond, Kevin Cobb, Mel Broiles, Frank Kaderabek, Doc Severinsen, Jim Ross, Robert Sullivan are just a few of Dillon Music’s renowned clients.
Starting in January of 2017, in Trumpet Magazine we are joining forces and going forward hand in hand with Dillon Music. We will be partners, and this is great news because starting in the very near future Trumpetland will enjoy special offers, super discounts and raffles which will be offered exclusively to our Premium members.

The history of Dillon Music
The Dillon family’s involvement with music goes back to the 18th Century, when William Dillon was a fifer in the Continental army during the Revolutionary war and eventually served under George Washington. It was in 1992 that Steve Dillon, a descendant of William and a graduate of Rutgers University with a degree in Music Education, founded Dillon Music in Woodbridge, New Jersey.
Why Woodbridge? Well, because the location was perfect: 4 hours from Washington D.C., 4 hours from Boston, 1 hour from Philadelphia and 45 minutes from Manhattan. The Newark Liberty International Airport is only 15 minutes away, there is a train station one block away from the store, and to top it off all the main roads in the state of New Jersey come together at Woodbridge.
All of this, and of course the friendly and helpful service that they provide makes Dillon Music special. If you have the opportunity to pay them a visit we highly recommend that you do! You can try dozens of second hand trumpets, many of which previously belonged to some of the world’s greatest trumpet players. If it is a new horn that you are looking for then this is the perfect place as they have an enormous stock of new instruments for you to try out and choose from.
From all of us here we would like to take this opportunity to thank Dillon Music for believing in Trumpet Magazine and joining the many from the trumpet world that believe in us and make this possible.
