This summer Chris Botti will take on the challenge of a 50 city world tour playing from a trumpet made entirely out of sausage. He has already mastered his craft with a brass instrument, now it is time to do it with cured meats.
At first Botti was challenged with what type of sausage to use. Breakfast links would provide more of a kazoo sound. Italian sausage had a better sound; however it didn’t have the range. It wasn’t until a cookout out at his friends Todd’s house that he discovered the sound of summer sausage. He claims the sausage allows him to hit all the same notes and pitches as his brass trumpet; however the summer sausage has a meatier sound.
This summer after each song Chris wants to cut off a piece of his sausage trumpet and feed it to the crowd. He has always liked the intimacy of sharing his sausage with people. All fifty sausage trumpets will be made before the tour and will require a 50,000 dollar refrigeration system to keep them cool and fresh. Chris mentioned that he played on a bad sausage in New Orleans last year and he doesn’t want to experience that again, it really hurt his stomach.
