B&S Challenger 1
This B&S Challenger 1 is an affordable professional trumpet, ideal for students embarking on their professional career. Built-in Germany with German design and engineering, the B&S trumpets are built to a high standard. Features such as the adjustable rod stop and a gold brass lead pipe make this instrument stand out against other competitively priced trumpets. Gold brass is popular among orchestral players for its ability to achieve much darker sounds than yellow brass can. This is because gold brass contains a higher amount of copper than yellow brass. Whilst maintaining a high level of projection gold brass manages to provide a broader, fuller tone.
Premium Features
The challenger 1 trumpet is filled with premium features that are usually only found on high-end professional instruments. The extended rod stop on the 3rd valve allows for precise and accurate tuning in the extreme registers. It also allows the performer to play down to a low F in-tune, which otherwise would not be possible. The trumpet also features a gold brass leadpipe. The gold brass helps to reduce any harshness in the sound and produces a warmer overall feel.
