7 trumpets as carry-on luggage!!!

I just broke a Guinness World record for most trumpets taken as carry-on. Here are 7 that I took on my flight from Los Angeles to Seattle yesterday along with stories about the horns themselves. After this many years of traveling, I definitely have discovered ways to beat the airlines at their biased carry-on rules!!!

Amazing trumpets, impressive packing, and brilliant travel tips! Thanks for sharing!

I still find it impressive that you can fit 5 trumpets in that bag.

I want to play that Bach !!! Quite unique...

Impressive Jens! I see you are not packing any mutes. Do you borrow them from others at the gig where you go or do you have your personal set of mutes that also go in one of these bags?

Would it be less of a tight fit using the elite trumpet/flugelhorn case instead? I guess it would be a tad bigger but wasn’t sure.

Nice video, Jens! Gotta me a bag like yours.

AMAZING! Also, what are you doing in Seattle?!

[@pshimmons]

OK - wait... you drop a comment "for the most LEGAL trumpets on board!" Then say let me explain that to you and then you don't! I want to know more about this! ;)

I have not watched of this video to the end but I will. My initial observations. Jens, you are obsessed with trumpets. But we all know that. You need to dress more extravagantly. That shirt is too quiet. Lastly I bet customs agents really like you. "What are you hiding in all those trumpets?" "Play something for us".
