More about Steve Dillard
Steve Dillard is a freelance trumpeter, educator, and owner of the HornTrader.com website. The HornTrader was the first of its kind on the web and still the best site to find quality horns, related gear, and information for the discerning trumpeter. Not only has Steve spent many years in the trumpet manufacturing industry working with Benge and Calicchio, he is also a very active freelance trumpet player and teacher.
As an apprentice to Dominic Calicchio, Steve learned the fine art of brass craftsmanship with hands on experience. At Benge under Zig Kanstul, Steve had many jobs including slide maker, quality controller and shipper. Throughout the years, he’s stayed well informed in the industry both through his association with top leaders of brass technology such as Zig Kanstul, Bob Reeves, Schilke, Conn-Selmer, CarolBrass and his relationships with highly regarded leaders in trumpet performance like Wayne Bergeron (LA Studios), Boyde Hood (LA Phil) as well as the many fine trumpet players Steve has met around the globe.
Since owning and operating HornTrader.com he has come to be one of the primary sellers of Professional pre-owned and vintage horns on the internet. He is well known in many countries throughout the world and his site is visited by thousands each month.
Steve’s first love has always been playing trumpet. He maintains a busy playing and teaching schedule and has had a professional performance career spanning over 40 years. One of the first to teach on line using SKYPE, and KZbin, Steve has been able spread his knowledge and love of the trumpet the world over. His teaching mantra “I believe I can help YOU,” recorded in January 2012, can be seen on KZbin.

Great job John and thank you Steve for your time. Are both podcast and live KZbin interviews different?

Hi Carlos! Yes, the podcast interview was not live and covers some different topics than this live Q&A.
