First choice for first chair.
The 3143JH Challenger II Custom Series trumpet offers a heavyweight bell design to allow for excellent response without the fear of breaking up the sound. The 3143JH features a .459-inch bore and a #43 taper one-piece hand hammered heavy yellow brass bell that allows for a quick response, but allows the player to push the instrument at louder dynamics with less chance of the tone overpowering the instrument. The 3143JH Challenger II includes a double wood case and mouthpiece and is available in silver finish.
