The B6 Traditional Custom Series trumpet is an extremely popular choice for the commercial player. The classic medium bore design provides a compact sound with superior projection and exceptional brilliance. These features make the B6 the perfect trumpet for the studio or stage, for lead or section work.

The B6 trumpet is available in four variations—a fixed copper bell, a fixed beryllium copper bell, a tunable copper bell, and a tunable beryllium copper bell—each designed to customize the instrument performance to the player.
