A free-blowing large bore instrument.
The CX Traditional Classic Series trumpet is designed for the player looking for a free-blowing large bore instrument. The combination of the large throat bell, along with the reverse leadpipe design and straight bore design, keeping the bore .463-inches continuously throughout the trumpet, makes this instrument perfect for the player looking for an instrument with the sound and projection of the Schilke C trumpets, but with less resistance.
The CX trumpet is available in two variations—a fixed yellow brass bell, or a tunable yellow brass bell—each designed to customize the instrument performance to the player.
