SchilkeCX Traditional Custom Series C Trumpet Silver plated Tunable Bell

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Schilke CX Traditional Custom Series is a C trumpet for players seeking a free-blowing large-bore design with less resistance. Its .463-inch straight bore remains continuous through the instrument, working with a reverse-taper leadpipe and a 5-inch, large-throat #1-taper yellow-brass bell. Schilke positions that combination for the sound and projection associated with its C trumpets while keeping the response less resistant. This configuration includes a tunable bell and silver-plated body.
