SchilkeG1L-4 Traditional Custom Series 4-Valve G Trumpet with Tuning Bell Silver plated
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Schilke’s G1L-4 is a four-valve G trumpet with a .450-inch bore and tuning-bell construction. The fourth valve extends the instrument downward by a fourth, while the bell-tuning layout is described as giving a more open upper register, quicker response, and improved intonation. Its 4-3/8-inch yellow brass bell uses a #5 taper. The broader, dark and full-bodied sound is positioned for solo work as well as brass quintet and orchestral parts. A mouthpiece and case are included.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Solo trumpet work calling for a broader sound than a smaller piccolo trumpet.
- Brass quintet and orchestral parts requiring the instrument’s stated sound flexibility.
