For sale is a Bach Stradivarius B-Flat Trumpet, serial # is 96xxx, which means it was built in Elkhart, IN sometime between 1970 and 1974, before the death of Vincent Bach. This particular trumpet was professionally fully restored by B. The instrument is in perfect playing condition and is among the best horns I have ever played. All valves and slides work beautifully. If you go to the B. Website you can read about their full restoration process which includes complete disassembly and reassembly to make sure everything is in perfect alignment. There is one small dent in the bell section near the first valve that I tried get a good picture of. The horn has a raw brass (un-lacquered) finish and a Model 25 Bell. The L by the serial number denotes “Large Bore”. Horns of this era were built with heavier gauge metal than some later models so the horn has great weight to it, is sturdy, and creates a big sound. Valves are nickel plated brass and have brass valve-guides which is a great feature. View this video to see a description of this model of horn and hear how it plays. The horn comes with the Protec gig case seen in the pictures. The case is in the chocolate color, the only color that comes with the red interior. The case has a shoulder strap and is in excellent condition. This horn is ready for gigs!
