Superior intonation and even feel in all ranges.
The P5-4 Traditional Custom Series has long been the reference standard in piccolo trumpet construction and sound. Characterized by its superior intonation and even feel in all ranges, this classic trumpet model is the perfect for orchestral musicians and soloists.
The P5-4MA model offers a superior design with advanced pitch adjustment.
The Schilke P5-4MA features a 4 valve construction with a .450 inch medium bore and a 4 inch copper bell with a #8 taper designed for a rich tone with outstanding projection and superior intonation in all registers. The P5-4MA also features a removable 4th valve slide assembly and a second additional half-tone slide.
When using the smaller half-tone slide and holding the fourth valve down, the player is able to lower the pitch of the piccolo trumpet by a major 2nd, placing the instrument in the key of G. This modification will assist with difficult trills and awkward keyed passages.
This handmade Schilke piccolo trumpet is available in silver or in gold plate finish.
