The C5 Traditional Custom Series trumpet is a good choice for the player looking for an all-around performance instrument similar to the C3 model. The C5 trumpet has slightly more resistance than the C3, with a slightly tighter design of the main tuning slide. This model provides flexibility in sound color with continuity in timbre in all registers and outstanding projection.

The C5 trumpet is available in two variations—a fixed yellow brass bell, or a tunable yellow brass bell—each designed to customize the instrument performance to the player.
