Mark Van Cleave has been active in the business of trumpet and trumpet mouthpiece design since 1980. Working for the Vincent Bach Corp. in the early 1980's gave Mark the opportunity to develop a knowledge of trumpet design and production from both the manufacturing as well as from the players perspective.
Mark's expertise has been sought out by many of the top trumpet and trumpet mouthpiece manufacturers today and has finally come full circle with the development of the Van Cleave line of instruments.
