B&S Challenger Trumpet 3137

Description

Discover the unmistakable craftsmanship of the B&S Challenger I 3137 Bb Trumpet—a true testament to over 250 years of German instrument-making excellence. Built entirely in Germany, this trumpet carries forward the heritage of one of the world’s most respected brass manufacturers, offering professional performance with classic ergonomic comfort.

At the heart of the 3137 lies a one-piece, hand-hammered #37 yellow brass bell, shaped using traditional methods passed down through generations of B&S master craftsmen. This artisan construction allows the bell to vibrate freely, producing a sound full of rich colours, vibrant resonance, and remarkable character. From warm lyrical playing to brilliant projection, the 3137 responds with musicality and depth.

Modeled on the renowned Bach Stradivarius 180ML 37 design, the B&S Challenger I 3137 offers a familiar feel with a distinctly European voice. Its gold brass leadpipe, carefully proportioned bell taper, and .459″ ML bore give the instrument an even, stable response across the full range.

Whether you’re performing orchestral repertoire, leading a big band, or playing in a brass ensemble, the 3137 adapts effortlessly. Clean articulation, confident slotting, and beautifully balanced tone make it ideal for players who need one trumpet that can do everything well.

Built with the durability and refinement expected from German manufacturing, the 3137 features:

• 3 top-sprung hand-lapped Monel valves for smooth, reliable action

• Nickel silver outer slides for strength and precision

• Fixed 3rd slide for stable intonation

• Silver-plated finish or clear lacquer option for stunning visual appeal and tonal nuance

• One-piece bell for superior resonance

• 1.5C mouthpiece and lightweight case included

Everything about this trumpet is designed to support the progressing musician—from its comfortable ergonomics to its long-lasting mechanical reliability.

The Challenger I series is ideal for:

• Advancing students working through the grades

• Adult players performing regularly in amateur orchestras, wind bands, or jazz groups

• Musicians looking for a fuller tone, stronger projection, and more expressive capability than a student-level instrument can offer
