Bach - C190SL229 - Stradivarius C Trumpet

Description

Vincent Bach has been setting a high standard for brass instrument performance worldwide for many decades and will continue to do as they craft instruments that push industry boundaries.

The 190 series of Bach trumpets are a step above the famed Stradivarius line that have been beloved instruments for some of the most accomplished trumpeters in the instruments recorded history. With the 190 series, delivered in 2010, the Bach craftspeople aimed to call back to the 'vintage' Bach instruments from pre 1970s which hold a special reputation for their excellence.

The biggest change with the 190 series is the return of the two piece valve casing used on these vintage instruments. The casing is constructed of 2/3 brass and 1/3 nickel-silver. The two-piece valve casing offers better feedback to the player and more overtones in the sound. This delivers a heightened playing experience for the user and allows them to develop and strengthen their unique sound with the added layers to the instrument sound.

The C190SL229 takes bones of the C180S, the standard of orchestral C trumpets, and upgrades it with the new valve casing. The C190S also comes with the newly designed #25 M leadpipe. Providing stability of intonation and slotting of notes. These features paired with the regular weight #229 yellow brass bell, and the large .462" bore, gives the player the ability to produce a depth of sound unmatched by many others. This instrument with fit perfectly into the roster of any orchestra or wind group by working with the artist to shape the sound to its best potential.

***This instrument comes in the original hardshell with all new accessories, including the "Symphonic" series 1 1/2C mouthpiece.
