The B&S 3137 Challenger II trumpet is the logical step in taking the Challenger Series to the next level for the most ambitious players. With a slightly different lead pipe taper and bell design, the Challenger II has less resistance and allows the player to choose their preference of lead pipe and bell flare combination.
The new Philip Cobb London model features a new leadpipe specially designed for Phil's needs as Principal Trumpet of the London Symphony Orchestra.
Anybody considering a pro trumpet owes it to themselves to try this model - it won't disappoint!
