We
all will agree that Schilke Trumpets offer the most sought after
characteristics of any trumpet, superior tone quality, excellent
intonation and ease of response with an over-all evenness throughout
the range of the instrument at all dynamic levels
“A Standard of Excellence “
For
nearly fifty years, Schilke Trumpets and Cornets have defined a
generation of professional brass playing in performance and recording.
Distinguished by their outstanding intonation, response and projection,
the Schilke Company is generally acknowledge for producing the finest
brass instruments of their kind in the world.
Referred to as “ Custom Built “, we make each instrument by hand
with the same sense of attention and detail of a custom maker. All
parts are produced at the Schilke facility in Melrose Park, IL USA.
Schilke start with a valve set and build out. Their valves and slides
are fit at the tightest tolerances and have set a standard within
the industry. They hand fit each brace, hand strap and scrape each
horn rather that rather than use a de lead solution to clean excess
solder from the joints. Not only does this improve the aesthetic
of the Trumpet giving it a cleaner look but also it makes the joint
stronger.These time honoured traditions come together to create
instruments that are uniquely elegant, well balanced to hold and
most importantly superior in tone quality. Since Renold O Schilke
established the Schilke Company in 1956, this build process, attention
to detail and old world craftsmanship provide the thread of continuity
that has created a “ Standard of Excellence” in manufacturing and
brass playing for half a century.
