As played by Mark Pender, trumpet player for Conan O' Brien's band. The B & S Challenger II Series features .462-inch large bore designed for excellent response and intonation. The Challenger II Series also features 4.9-inch #25 taper lightweight bell for a focused sound with maximum response. This Challenger II Bb Trumpet is well suited for any type of performance situation, but the quicker response of the #25 bell makes this trumpet an excellent choice for solo or lead work. The reverse leadpipe creates less resistance for the player, making this trumpet sing.

These horns slot beautifully and feel in your hands like no other horn. It is great for lead, soloing, jazz, R&B, classical, you name it. Lots of attitude and fire in this trumpet, as personified by its best-known endorser, Mark Pender. You don't necessarily need Mark's wild personality to play, but if you do, this might be just the instrtument for you.
