Schilke C7L “C” Trumpet SN# 5330A  (Circa 1972)

This was built in 1972. This is a classic case of “somebody stamped two different casings with the number 5330”. They then took one of the casings and put the letter (A) at the end of it to differentiate.

Excellent playing “C” trumpet by Schilke.  There is a dent in the bell.  It looks worse than it is with no sharp edges.  I will have it repaired before selling . This horn will be Sonically Cleaned and polished before sending out.  I wanted to get it on the site now.   I think after the horn being sonically cleaned this will not be much of a issue

I’ve been told that The Minnesota Orchestra trumpet section played custom (extra large bell flare) C7s in the mid to late ‘60’s when Steve Chenette was principal.

A big, rich sound for the soloist or section performer. The fine intonation of Schilke’s B flat trumpets is present likewise in their C trumpets. Many of these are step bore designs producing horns far more free blowing than other manufacturer’s horns of nominally the same bore size.
