 Model
S22 Schilke Trumpet: Retaining the same response and excellent
intonation that is characteristic of the B and X series models,
the "S" series play with a compact, focused, resonate
center to the sound. Distinguished by the bell construction, bracing,
and different mouth pipe and tuning slide design, the S series
instruments emphasize the sound core and are ideal for both classical
and commercial performance.
All S series trumpet models share the same
bell, which is referred to as a ML bell or a #2 bell. The bell
has the same taper as the bell used on the B5 but utilize a yellow
brass bell with a soldered bell bead. This feature helps with
the sound focus and emphasizes the resonant core of the sound
at the louder dynamic levels. The S series Main Tuning Slide
has a semi-square shaped bow with a brace providing additional
resistance and sound focus rather than the rounded brace-less
slide on the B and X series models. This large bore model
provides an excellent focus in sound with an emphasis center of
tone and slotting security.
The S22 is ideal for the player that desires
the ease of response of a Schilke instrument with slightly more
resistance than the X3 model. |
