SchilkeS23HD Custom Series Bb Trumpet Silver plated Yellow Brass Bell
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Schilke's S23HD is a Bb trumpet made for symphonic players seeking a large-bore instrument. Its .463-inch bore, yellow-brass leadpipe, and 4-7/8-inch yellow-brass bell with medium throat and #3 taper form the listed design. It is intended to deliver a broad, rich sound with controlled power, excellent intonation, and projection from quiet passages through concert-hall work. The silver-plated model includes Monel valves, a Symphony Series mouthpiece, and a custom single hard case.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Symphonic performance that calls for projection at both quiet and concert-hall dynamics.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who specifically need a Bb trumpet with a smaller bore.
