The Schilke Custom Series C Trumpets (also known as the C Series) were designed by Renold O. Schilke and date back to his founding of our company. These models feature a lightweight design with minimal bracing, round main tuning slide, and reverse leadpipe. Custom Series trumpets are lauded for natural brilliance, or “shimmer,” to their sound, and ease of playing, consistent “feel” from top to bottom of the horn, and superior intonation.
The Custom Series is often viewed as a spectrum of models. With a choice of bell taper and bore size, every musician can find the right “feel” for them. Most Custom Series C Trumpets have a direct equivalent to a Custom Series Bb Trumpet.
