Schilke E3L-4 Bell Conversion
Schilke E3L-4 Bell Conversion Working with Trumpeter David Martinez. This project involved converting this incredible 4 Valve Eb Trumpet to receive Bach 239 C-Trumpet Bell and play in D (Uhhhmmm...) What can I say, Trumpeters... we are an awesome breed. After a trip to the Schilke factory having a set of D Trumpet slides made, David brought back to have the conversion completed. A substantial amount of time is spent playing this trumpet both in Eb and D testing with prototype bells and slides to arrive at the best feel as possible. Talking over the playing properties with each player gives me detailed notes of the players needs. Understanding each player has their own set of playing attributes. I strive to accomplish only the finest results. Precision measurements are taken to create bell receiving hardware. This is required to convert the Bach C-Trumpet Bell size with the Schilke Eb Trumpet bell sleeve. Internal work is done to Bell tail,
