[Features]
One of the core models of the current silky trumpet, HD series.BassThis first generation S series became the It shares the same main tuning tube with Silky's origin model, the B series, in that the main tuning tube is a reverse type, but it was built based on a different design from the B series, including changes in the shape of the mouthpiece receiver, reed pipe, and tuning tube, the position and number of fastening seats, and the use of an O-shaped ring finger rest. While its successor, the HD series, is characterized by its ease of blending with other makers, the first generation S series is in full Silky style! It has a more coherent sound with a clearer core than the B series, but it has a bright and lustrous sound with plenty of overtones that is unique to Silky. This is a unit that can be used for a wide range of music from classical genres such as orchestra, brass band, and ensemble to big band and pops.
