 Model
S42 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. The first choice for the
studio/ lead player, this medium bore model offers a focused sound
with a solid core.
The S42 is ideal for the player that desires
the ease of response a Schilke instrument provides with more resistance
and tighter slotting than the B6 model. |
