Free blowing with a quick response and superior intonation.
The P7-4 Traditional Custom Series offers the player an instrument that is well suited for symphonic and solo performance. The P7-4 features a .450-inch bore with a #8 taper copper bell with a full 180 degree radius bell bow for a broad sound that is free blowing plus a quick response with superior intonation.
The P7 also features a 1st valve thumb saddle and a third valve slide ring for easy intonation adjustment. Providing an alternative to the classic P5-4 model, the P7-4 offers the characteristic quick response and superior intonation long associated with Schilke designs. This three-valve instrument is an ideal choice for a performer looking for a freer, broader blowing piccolo trumpet while playing the demanding upper register and fortissimo parts in the symphonic and baroque repertoire where a fourth valve is not necessary.
