"A Pujé is played by none other than of Jon-Erik Kelso, for starters, and I
believe Bryan Shaw has used one from time to time as well. They are hand
made by Bobby DeNicola in South Carolina."

At last summer's Evergreen Jazz Festival, I asked Jon-Erik what a Pujé was, 
so I could tell the radio audience.  He told me that the word (which isn't 
French at all) is pronounced "pudgie."  The trumpet was named for its shape. 
  It has a very nice sound.  John Bartman of Denver's Queen City Jazz Band 
is also playing a Pujé.
