Schilke Trumpets – X Series Custom Bb Trumpets

The Schilke X Series Custom Bb Trumpets are large and extra large bored horns that play with an even feel throughout the entire range of the trumpet.  The X4, in particular, is the biggest trumpet that Schilke makes and has been played by many great trumpet players like Arturo Sandoval.  The Schilke company prides itself on making all of their horns by hand in their 16,000 sq. ft. factory in Illinois, and they have been around since 1956.  In addition to top-of-the-line trumpets, Schilke makes other great products like mouthpieces, trombones, cornets, and flugelhorn.
