B&S Challenger

B&S is a German company who has been making brass instruments for more than 100 years. Untill a decade ago, they were mostly famous for their cheap Vincent Bach copies. However, nowadays B&S has an outstanding line of trumpets, the Challenger I, Challenger II and Challenger X series.
The Challenger II models are still based on the various Stradivarius models (25, 37, 43 and 72) but after years of development and German craftsmanship, you cannot speak of a copy anymore, not in the least. They passed their predecessors in every aspect, and that for a price often hundreds of euro's cheaper!

BrassImport has the Challenger II and X series, which offer the most trumpet for your money, in stock. All instruments are available in lacquer, silver and gold, or with a Sterling silver bell. If you want, we can also order the even more friendly priced Challenger I models for you. These are usually available within 3 days.
