From Bach: 

"Vincent Bach combined his unique talents as both an accomplished musician and a talented engineer to create brass instruments of unequalled tonal quality. Often copied but never duplicated, Bach Stradivarius instruments today remain the sound choice of artists worldwide. The Bach 180 series Bb trumpets are the most versatile available offering more options that meet the demanding needs of today's most discriminating players.

The Bach 180 series trumpets are the number one selling professional trumpets in the world. The 180S43 features a #43 one-piece hand-hammered professional bell that produces a warm sound with slightly more control and with great projection allowing this instrument to work well in multiple musical settings—from jazz to concert or solo playing. The #25 leadpipe allows for slight resistance that is effective in centering tone production. The silver-plate finish provides a controlled brilliance to the overall sound."

Once arriving at the shop, our professional brass technician spent quality time with this trumpet. First getting the slides unstuck, then the z brace needed to be resolder on and finally dents were worked out of the bell and crook. It also got a cleaning in our ultrasonic tank, and then a hand polish. After a long play-test, this trumpet was given the green light and is ready for sale! Bring your favorite mouthpiece and come spend some time in our recital hall with this excellent Bach Strad 43 Bb Trumpet!
