SchilkeC6 Traditional Custom Series C Trumpet Silver plated Yellow Brass Bell
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Schilke's C6 Traditional Custom Series is a C trumpet built around a .450-inch medium bore and a copper bell with a 5-inch medium-large throat and #2 taper. The design is voiced for a more compact sound while retaining projection and brilliance. It is presented for small-ensemble and section work, giving players a clear use case rather than a broadly voiced setup. A reverse-taper yellow-brass leadpipe, Monel valves, and silver-plated body complete the instrument.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Small-ensemble parts that call for the C6's compact sound and projection.
- Section work where the instrument's stated brilliance is a priority.
