HD Series Bb Trumpets offer musicians an elegant and rich orchestral tone with superb intonation. Custom built to the highest quality by Schilke tradition, this design provides musicians with a truly gorgeous sound.
The HD designs begin with a heavier version of the standard Schilke valve section along with a redesigned leadpipe and tuning slide with slightly heavier material. Finally finishing the model with a newly designed one-piece bell in various bell shapes to create a rich, dark sound overall. HD trumpets are offered in silver plate, 24K gold plate and lacquer finishes.
The S22CHDII-JS was designed in collaboration with Cleveland Orchestra 2nd trumpet player Jack Sutte.
“As for the Bb and C trumpets - my goal with Andrew was to utilize all Schilke parts in a new design concept utilizing the HD valve set, thus the HD II. They have a seamless bell, which I think the technology is so cool. I love the clarity and depth of tone. On both the Bb and C the 3rd slide is set so that a low F is possible and indestructible!!” - Jack Sutte
