Common Questions about the Schagerl Charis
Is the Schagerl Charis a professional C trumpet?
Yes. The Schagerl Charis C Trumpet is a professional-level instrument designed for advanced and working trumpeters who need a C trumpet for orchestral, chamber, and solo repertoire.
What does the raw brass finish mean on this trumpet?
An unlacquered finish on a trumpet allows the raw brass to remain exposed rather than sealed beneath a protective lacquer coating. Many players feel this creates a more immediate, resonant response with a broader spectrum of overtones and a slightly more “alive” feel under the hands, though the tonal difference is subtle and highly subjective. Over time, the instrument develops a natural patina as the brass oxidizes, giving each horn a unique appearance that many musicians find aesthetically appealing.
Who should choose a large bore C trumpet?
A large bore C trumpet is appropriate for players who want a more open blowing feel and the ability to produce a broad, projecting sound. It is commonly preferred by experienced trumpeters with developed air support and control.
