Three valves
The P7-4 is a three-valve piccolo trumpet intended for repertoire where a fourth valve is not required.

Independent shopping perspective
The Schilke P7-4 is a gold-plated Bb/A piccolo trumpet built around a three-valve layout for symphonic and solo performance. A 0.450-inch bore, #8-taper copper bell, and full 180-degree-radius bell bow are designed for a broad, free-blowing feel, quick response, and strong intonation. A first-valve thumb saddle and third-valve slide ring place intonation adjustment at hand. It is aimed at upper-register and fortissimo symphonic or baroque work where a fourth valve is not needed.
