SchilkeB4 Traditional Custom Series Bb Trumpet Silver plated Tunable Beryllium Bell
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Schilke’s B4 Traditional Custom Series Bb trumpet combines a .450-inch medium bore with a 5-inch medium-throat bell and #3 taper. It is voiced for a player pursuing brilliance along with efficiency and additional resistance, and is described as playing broader and brighter than the B6. The listed configuration is silver-plated and uses a tunable beryllium bell. Monel valves, a first-valve thumb saddle, and fixed third-valve ring round out the setup, with a Schilke Standard Series mouthpiece and custom double hard case also listed.
