Simply put, the Schilke P5-4 is the finest piccolo trumpet made. History of This Instrument. Ordered directly from the Schilke factory in January 2001, manufactured in February 2001 (Serial # 45162), this horn has never left our house and has not been played since about 2003. I was planning to play it at our church but ended up going in another direction. It was cleaned, greased and polished before it was put away. Now it is time to find someone who will put this beautiful instrument to fine use. This horn plays like a dream – bright, broad resonance with extremely precise piccolo intonation. I just gave her a complete cleaning and polish. I most often played her with the’A’ mouthpipe. Transposing most orchestral music on a’Bb’ horn can be a challenge. It’s really nice to move over to the slightly longer’A’ mouthpipe to avoid those transposition keys with 5 or more sharps. Plus the longer mouthpipe gives the horn a bit more heft and an extra touch of warmth. This sale includes the following. Schilke P5-4 Piccolo Trumpet with both’Bb’ and’A’ Mouthpipes.
