The B5 model has slightly more resistance than the B1 with a more compact
sound. This model provides flexibility in sound color with continuity
in timbre in all registers and outstanding projection.
Acclaimed
for its exceptional intonation, ease in response and outstanding
projection, the Schilke Bb trumpet has set the standard for playability
and build quality since it was introduced in 1956. The
reverse main tuning slide with full radius bend, leadpipe design and
bore variation help create a responsive, open feel with an overall
evenness throughout the range of the instrument at all dynamic levels.
This characteristic design is streamlined, clean and elegant.
The 'B' and 'X' models provide a balanced, comfortable
playing experience with a superior tone quality.
