The B5 Traditional Custom Series trumpet is a good choice for the player looking for an all-around performance instrument. The B5 trumpet has slightly more resistance than the B1, but with a more compact sound. This model provides flexibility in sound color with continuity in timbre in all registers and outstanding projection.

The B5 trumpet is available in four variations—a fixed copper bell, a fixed beryllium copper bell, a tunable copper bell, and a tunable beryllium copper bell—each designed to customize the instrument performance to the player.
