The E2 is an ideal choice for the solo or orchestral section player when an Eb trumpet is needed. The Schilke E2 is a medium-large bore instrument that plays slightly bigger and broader due to a fixed bell design.

The larger bore allows the player the ability to lean a little harder into the instrument at louder dynamic levels while the bracing provides additional stability. The E2 includes an additional set of D slides and is available in silver plate or gold plate finish.
