Welcome to Arch City Brass — Columbus, Ohio
Proud Veteran-Owned Business
I’m Chris Martin, a lifelong musician and U.S. Marine Corps veteran. I served as a trumpeter and vocalist with the United States Marine Corps Band at Camp Pendleton, and I bring that same professionalism, discipline, and attention to detail to every instrument I sell.
With over 20 years of performing experience nationwide — including my service in the Marine Corps Band — I’ve gained a feel for what players look for in a good, reliable instrument.
What you’ll find here:
Thoughtfully selected trumpets, flugelhorns, cornets, trombones, and more
Brand-new Arch City Brass models offering excellent performance at an accessible price
A curated selection of used brass instruments from trusted makers
Mouthpieces, mutes, cases, and other brass accessories
Accurate descriptions, fast shipping, and honest communication
I’m proud to support musicians of all ages and backgrounds. Students, seniors, and fellow veterans receive a discount—just message me before purchasing.
Every instrument is personally play-tested, inspected, and set up before shipping so you can buy with confidence.
Exceptional Instruments. Unmatched Value.
Our Mission:
Arch City Brass bridges the gap between quality and price. We offer meticulously selected, high-performance horns at an unmatched value. Get the professional sound you demand without the premium price tag.
