Bach - AB190S - Artisan Professional Trumpet

Description

The Artisan series from Vincent Bach is an exciting line of instruments designed to bring an updated approach to the famed Stradivarius line.

Bach instruments of all varieties are upholding the beloved sound and feel of their 'vintage' horns. The two piece valve construction found in the Artisan series, made of nickel balusters and brass casings, ushers back to the construction of classic Bach trumpets made in Mt. Vernon and New York.

While these vintage model horns are what first gave Bach their prestige status. They have brought in some new features with Artisan series such as the inclusion of both plastic and brass valve guides, a tone enhancing third valve ring, enhanced radius ferrules, all of which designed to give this trumpet a unique feel and response while maintaining that true Bach sound. It also includes an extended third valve slide stopper to allow the trumpet to reach down to a low F, allowing the user to more easily access a unique and typically unattainable register of the trumpet.

The AB190S also features a stunning bell engraving, leading this horn to not only be unmistakeable in sound, but also appearance. The silver-plate finish of the AB190S provides a controlled brilliance to the overall sound. These features combined with a .459" medium-large bore allow the player to produce a spectacular sound well suited for all types of music.
