Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Schilke B2 Traditional Custom Series Bb trumpet pairs a .460-inch medium-large bore with a 5-inch medium-throat bell and #3 taper. Its design is intended for a player seeking more resistance than the B1, while retaining a broad, bright character. The #3 taper reaches the valve section more quickly, and the model is described as offering more control than the B5. This silver-plated, beryllium-bell version includes Monel valves, a first-valve thumb saddle, fixed third-valve ring, Schilke Standard Series mouthpiece, and custom double hard case.
