Why This Trumpet Stands Out:

This instrument is absolutely incredible. The Power and resonance in this horn is unmatched and provides a full and incredibly versatile sound profile. From the most intimate pianos to the brassiest fortissimos, this horn has you covered anywhere in-between! Detachable tuning bells are standard on the S43HDL-F Faddis model.  The advantage of the tuning bell feature is that the tuning slide can be left all the way in or moved only a little, thereby keeping the bore relatively free of gaps that may cause a disturbance in the nodal pattern of the sound wave. Another advantage is that different bells of varying tapers, materials and finishes may be used to change characteristics of the instrument.

From Schilke:

"The Schilke HD Series Bb Trumpets deliver an elegant, full-bodied orchestral tone with outstanding intonation. Handcrafted to the highest standards of Schilke tradition, each instrument offers musicians a beautifully refined and resonant sound.

The HD design begins with a heavier version of the classic Schilke valve section, paired with a redesigned leadpipe and tuning slide crafted from slightly thicker material. A one-piece bell, available in two tapers, further enhances the instrument’s warm, dark character."

"The S43HDL-F Faddis Model was designed for legendary jazz artist, musician, conductor, composer and educator Jon Faddis. It is built with our HD valve section, which is heavier in mass at the center of the trumpet. No nibs on the second slide, no water key on the main tuning slide, heavy valve caps, and adjustable soundpost. The S43HDL-F is available by special order with an optional bell crown that provides more core to the sound with increased resonance."
