We gave this used 2023 Schilke B6B a professional cleaning and precision valve alignment, and it's in very good shape with no plating loss and just some minor surface scratches here and there. There's also a slight imperfection in the bell stem about 1/3 of the way back from the bell, but nothing that affects playability. This horn plays with a lively sound, an efficient blow, and great projection, not to mention fantastic valve action and tight compression. The medium step bore and 5" lightweight copper bell (this is what Schilke now calls "beryllium", hence the "B" designation on the bell tail ferrule) balance out very nicely, resulting in a horn that plays very easily without feeling restrictive. Comes with original Schilke double case.
FROM SCHILKE:
The classic medium bore trumpet, the B6 has been an extremely popular choice for all musicians, especially the commercial player. In the studio or on stage, for lead or in the section, this incredibly versatile model provides a compact sound with superior projection and exceptional brilliance.
