Paxman horns are manufactured with four bell sections:
"M" bells are more popular in France and England, are rarely see in
the states.
"L" bells are the best received by our customers. The "L" underwent
minor modifications about a dozen years ago, the results very well received
by players all over the world.
"E" bells are halfway in size between the "M" and the "L". Some
Americans, many British players prefer this bell.
"A" bells are based on the Conn Elkhart 8D instruments (which were,
in turn, copies of the pre-war Kruspe "Horner" model instruments).
Players who prefer the playing characteristics of Elkhart or Kruspe horns
will like this option.
"XL" bells were discontinued about 15 years ago.
The bore size of all model 20 horns is the same at .472 inches. "Dual Bore" model 25 horns are built with the Bb side of the horn at .472 inches and the F side at .500. Differences in playing characteristics are determined by the metal alloy, the size of the bore diameter, and which bell section is selected. Back to the Top

SCHILKE CORNETS AND TRUMPETS
Chicago symphony trumpet player Renold Schilke worked with the Martin Band Instrument Company in the 1940’s. He was the designer of the “Committee” model that many pro players of the time used. Martin was acquired by the Richards Music Corporation in 1962 and finally by Wurlitzer Pianos. Production ceased in 1968.
A few trumpets bearing Renold Schilke’s name appeared in 1956, with larger production numbers by the early sixties. Wichita Band Instrument Company’s dealership dates from 1965. After Renold’s death in 1982, the firm continued under the ownership of the Schilke family. In late 2002, the workshop was acquired by Andrew Naumann. They currently have eighteen employees who produce only a limited number of hand-built trumpets and cornets each year.
Schilke instruments are sold without case and mouthpiece and are not available in lacquer finishes. The instruments are sold only in bright silver or bright gold plate.
These models are the most popular with Schilke:
P5-4, four-piston piccolo trumpet, bright silver, no case. $2875.
E3L, three-piston Eb-D trumpet, bright silver, no case. $2956.
E3L-4, four piston Eb-D trumpet, bright silver, no case. $2956.
B1 trumpet, Bb, ML bore with L bell, bright silver, no case. Suggested retail price is $2825; our price is $2260.
B5 trumpet, Bb, ML bore with ML bell, bright silver, no case. Suggested retail price is $2825; our price is $2260.
S32 trumpet, Bb, ML bore with ML bell, bright silver, no case. Suggested retail price is $2825; our price is $2260.
The above instruments are normally IN STOCK in Wichita or have been scheduled with Schilke for faster time of delivery. Other models and finishes are available.
Schilke now markets a new lightweight double trumpet case. Suggested retail price is $165; our price is $132.
