A free-blowing large bore instrument.
The X3 Traditional Classic Series trumpet is designed for the player looking for a free-blowing large bore instrument. The combination of the large bore and large throat bell, along with the reverse leadpipe design and rounded full radius tuning slide makes this instrument perfect for the player looking for an instrument with the sound and projection of the Schilke B Series instruments, but with less resistance.
The X3 trumpet is available in three variations—a fixed yellow brass bell, a fixed beryllium copper bell, and a tunable yellow brass bell—each designed to customize the instrument performance to the player.
