Honolulu Wind Ensemble first trumpet Mike Matrasko has joined XO Brass Instruments as a brand advocate, bringing a wealth of experience and passion to the XO family. Having honed his craft under the tutelage of Scott Hall and Mark Minasian, Matrasko’s journey in the world of brass instruments has been marked by dedication and excellence.
Matrasko applauds the rich tones and versatility of XO C and Piccolo trumpets, finding them indispensable in adapting to various musical ensembles. “I look forward to sharing the wonderful experiences I’ve had with XO instruments with others,” Matrasko reflects. “I didn’t know I could enjoy playing a C trumpet until I got the 1624. My students experiment with instruments like the C trumpet, A pipe and Bb pipe piccolo, and it’s clear they have a difficult time handing them back when classes are over!
