B&S Challenger 2 37 Bell

The B&S 3137 Challenger trumpets are 100% German-made and holds true to the brand’s 250-year-old tradition of making high quality brass instruments. The Challengers are professional Bb trumpets with classic and familiar ergonomic features.

The Challengers feature a very unique one-piece hand-hammered bell made in the traditional way using the knowledge of skilled master craftsmen at B&S who use hand-on techniques. This allows the trumpet to be full of rich colors and resonate freely with a wide array of characteristics.

The B&S 3137 Challenger II trumpet is the logical step in taking the Challenger Series to the next level for the most ambitious players. With a slightly different lead pipe taper and bell design, the Challenger II has less resistance and allows the player to choose their preference of lead pipe and bell flare combination.
