A top innovative leader in brass manufacturing in the world, Schilke is proud to present the i Series Professional Bb Trumpets. The i Series was designed with a specific feel, response, and tone in mind. To achieve these goals, Schilke developed new features that include: a mouthpiece receiver with a lighter weight, quick response and a distinct look amongst all other Schilke trumpets. A newly designed set of ballusters results in a modified mass distribution with improved tone. The ergonomics of the design make the i Series extremely comfortable to hold. Finally, the new lightweight bracing design on the valve section improves the I Series overall response.
Old world craftsmanship and 21st century technology combine to create instruments with the most popular features and superb playing characteristics. 100% built by the world class Schilke's world-class craftsmen located in Melrose Park, IL, USA
The i33 Bb Trumpet was designed working with Osamu Takahashi, the world renowned Schilke Artist and Principal Trumpet of the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra. Sharing the bore size and overall design concepts of the i32, the i33’s primary point of difference is in the larger bell taper. Overall more efficient and focused than the #2i taper but with a larger tail and throat which gives the i33 a big sound.
