Schilke B1 Beryllium Bell

For Sale: Schilke B1 "50th Anniversary" Trumpet – Beryllium Bell

I am selling this beautiful Schilke B1 "50th Anniversary" trumpet with the highly sought-after Beryllium Bell.

The instrument is in excellent condition.

According to Schilke, this trumpet is fitted with a genuine Beryllium Bell, a rare configuration that is no longer produced and is highly valued for its quick response, outstanding projection, and rich harmonic complexity.

I have an email from Schilke's Director of Sales confirming both the authenticity of the Beryllium Bell and that all parts of the instrument are original Schilke components.

Here is the English statement from Schilke:

"Our records do confirm it is a B1B (B1 with beryllium bell) built in 2006. This trumpet was part of our 50th Anniversary production, so it also includes a 50th Anniversary stamp on the piston casing. It is typical for the mouthpiece receiver to be stamped 'B1'. You will also find the letter 'B' stamped on the side of the bell ferrule where the bell tail connects to the piston casing.

The B1 is a medium-large bore trumpet (.460 inches / 11.68 mm) with our #1 'Large' tapered bell. The 'Beryllium' bell option indicates the bell is made from a lightweight copper alloy containing beryllium.

Based on the photos you provided, it appears to be all authentic Schilke components."

This trumpet offers exceptional sound, projection, and response, and represents a very rare opportunity to own an authentic Schilke B1B.

Play-testing is welcome.

Personal collection is preferred.

Worldwide shipping is available. The trumpet will be packed in a hard case and professionally protected for transport (I have extensive experience shipping instruments).

It will be shipped via express courier, fully insured for the instrument's value, with signature required upon delivery.
