Schilke B4 Traditional Custom Series Bb Trumpet Silver plated Yellow Brass Bell

Description

The B4 Traditional Custom Series trumpet tends to play broader yet brighter than the model B6. The B4 features a medium bore and medium throat bell that will appeal to a player looking for a brilliant sound and desires efficiency with additional resistance.

The B4 trumpet is available in four variations—a fixed yellow brass bell, a fixed beryllium copper bell, a tunable yellow brass bell, and a tunable beryllium copper bell—each designed to customize the instrument performance to the player.

Features

• Available versions: B4, B4B, B4L, B4LB
• B4 – Yellow brass fixed bell. A medium throat #3 bell with a taper graduated for even and full-bodied tone.
• B4B – Beryllium copper fixed bell. Medium throat #3 bell made from an extremely lightweight copper, this bell offers a more direct, compact projection.
• B4L – Tunable yellow brass bell. The detachable bell design allows tuning from the bell, to offer a more open, free feeling in the upper register. With less bracing, the response feels quicker by allowing the bell to resonate more to improve projection.
• B4LB – Tunable beryllium copper bell. The combination of direct projection and quicker response, this version is the most free-blowing and resonant available.
• Medium bore
• Medium throat bell
