SchilkeP5-4MA Traditional Custom MA Series Bb/A Piccolo Trumpet Silver plated
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
built as a handmade bb/a piccolo trumpet, the silver-plated p5-4ma combines four monel piston valves with a 0.450-inch medium bore and a 4-inch copper bell using a #8 taper. its bb/a leadpipe arrangement supports both keys. the removable fourth-valve slide assembly and additional half-tone slide provide a dedicated way to lower the instrument to g, helping with difficult trills and awkward keyed passages.
Strong match
Who this is for
- orchestral playing where even response and intonation across the instrument's range are important
- solo work calling for rich tone, projection, and accurate intonation
- passages that benefit from the g setup provided by the half-tone slide and fourth valve
