Schilke X3 Custom Series Bb Trumpet - Large Bore
For sale is a Brand New Schilke X3 Custom Series Bb Trumpet, finished in brilliant Silver Plate. The X3 is widely revered as one of the most balanced large-bore trumpets ever made. It offers a massive, resonant "wall of sound" with a free-blowing feel that allows the player to project to the back of the hall with minimal effort.
This is the ultimate choice for the commercial lead player, jazz soloist, or symphonic musician who finds standard medium-large bore trumpets (like a Bach 37) too resistant. If you feel like your current horn "backs up" on you when you push the volume, the X3 opens up the throttle. It is designed for the player who wants a broad, dark, and singing tone that stays consistent at all dynamic levels.
The X3 Difference: Big but Controlled
The X3 is part of Schilke's "Large Bore" family, but it is famous for being incredibly playable.
- Large Bore Design: Features a .463" Large Bore. This larger diameter allows for a significantly freer blow, reducing back-pressure and allowing for a huge volume ceiling.
- Large Bell Taper: Equipped with a 5" Large Throat Bell (#1 Taper). This bell taper produces a dark, warm, and singing core that doesn't get shrill or edgy, even when played loud.
- Schilke Efficiency: Despite the large size, Schilke's legendary reverse leadpipe and minimal bracing ensure the horn responds instantly. You get the "big horn" sound without the sluggish response often found in other large-bore instruments.
