Schilke XA1 S/n 36483  W/ Charlie Melk Cleaning and Valve Alignment

Schilke XA1 Professional Cornet — S/N 36483

A Classic Schilke XA1 — Professionally Serviced and Ready to Play!

Here is a Schilke XA1 Professional Cornet, serial number 36483. The XA1 is one of Schilke’s most respected models and has earned a loyal following among professional brass players, particularly in the British brass band, concert band, chamber music, and orchestral worlds.

The XA1 is known for its beautifully centered tone, excellent projection, superb intonation, and exceptionally responsive Schilke valves. It offers the player the precision and flexibility that Schilke instruments are famous for, while retaining the rich, focused sound expected from a professional cornet.

This is a previously owned instrument that has been professionally serviced by Charlie Melk. Charlie gave the horn a thorough cleaning and complete valve alignment, bringing the valves up to proper professional playing condition.

That professional attention makes this a particularly attractive example for the player who wants the performance of a Schilke without paying the price of a new instrument.

If you give me the finish, cosmetic condition, and whether it includes the original case and mouthpiece, I can tighten the value and make the blurb even more specific for the HornTrader listing.
