Pre Owned Schilke S42 Trumpet in Silver Plate

Here's a neat Schilke S42 trumpet!

The S42 S Series Bb Trumpet was introduced in 1983. This model benefitted from advice and feedback from Jon Faddis, and was played by him for more than 20 years, until the development of the S43HDL-F Faddis Model. The S42 offers an efficient design, ideal for the lead player.

This Particular horn is in good shape but does show some signs of use. The body does have some scratching in the finish. There is one small ping towards the bell flare. This horn also shows some sign of redrot in the leadpipe and main tuning slide. Beyond this, it is a great playing horn, valve compression is great and action is smooth. The slides also move comfortably. Don't miss out on this awesome horn!

From the Manufacturer:

Acclaimed for their exceptional intonation, ease in response, and outstanding projection, the Renold O. Schilke designed series of Bb trumpets have set the standard for playability and build quality since their introduction in 1956.

The classic reverse main tuning slide with full radius bend, mouthpipe design and bore variation help create a responsive, open feel with an overall evenness throughout the range of the instrument at all dynamic levels. This characteristic design is streamlined, clean, and elegant. 

Introduced in 1983, the S Series Bb Trumpets were the brainchild of Renold E. Schilke, son of our founder Renold O. Schilke, and Owner of Schilke Music Products from 1982 until his retirement in 2002. Designed in collaboration with Jon Faddis, members of the Chicago Symphony Trumpet Section and other prominent musicians of the time, S Series Bb Trumpets offer a different feel for the player. A more cylindrical design, modified tuning slide and soldered bead wire provide a more focused feel and slightly denser “core” sound in comparison to the Custom Series Bb Trumpets.
