About Us

Welcome to the Schilke Music Products website! Schilke Music Products, founded in 1956, offers the highest quality professional line trumpets, trombones and brass instrument mouthpieces in the world. Renold O. Schilke had a strong desire to create brass instruments and mouthpieces at a very young age. During his tenure as founder and President of Schilke Music, Renold designed instruments and mouthpieces that have not only revolutionized the brass instrument industry but are still considered, to this day, to be the first choice for professional players around the world. Many people refer to a Schilke Trumpet as "the jewel of the industry."

Today, Schilke Music Products is housed in a 16,000 sq. ft. facility in Melrose Park, IL. We currently employ 35 of the finest craftsmen in the world who still build every Schilke instrument by hand, one at a time. We have strictly maintained Renold O. Schilke's design specifications and procedures in producing each instrument. Time-honored traditions are continuing to be passed down from employee to employee. Our craftsmen, many of whom are brass players themselves, truly understand a player's needs and continue to take great pride in producing the finest brass instruments and mouthpieces in the world! Our HD trumpets, Flugelhorn and new trombones are crafted with the same attention to detail Schilke is famous for. We hope you enjoy our new site and contact us if you have any further questions about Schilke instruments or mouthpieces! Thank you for your interest in Schilke Music Products.
