Prior to 1961 Schilke instruments were marked with the date of completion as the serial number. For example, a trumpet with the serial number 4859 was completed on April 8, 1959. Beginning in 1961 Schilke initiated a new numbering system. The above list is a sequential account of the serial numbers, followed by the year of completion.

If you note any discrepancies, or have additional information concerning this company, we would appreciate it VERY much if you would pass it on to The Music Trader. Thank you!
