Vintage Bach Stradivarius 37 Trumpet Early Elkhart Strad PLAYER! Serial Number #75xxx Made In the early 1970s before Vincent Bach passed away! Arguably the most iconic trumpet to exist!! Preferred by more musicians in the world than any other trumpet ever! Vincent Bach was an expert trumpet maker, and was a virtuoso trumpet player himself. From humble beginnings, Bach has started making mouthpieces from the basement of a music store in New York City in the early 1920s. The success of his mouthpieces led him to developing a full trumpet. This eventually led him toward building one of the most respected brass instrument manufacturing facilities in the world, in the Bronx of New York City. Bach eventually relocated to Mt. Vernon, NY where some of the finest models of brass instruments of all time were designed and refined. The instrument you are looking at here was one such model. Where at one point in history most of, and some of the finest brass instruments were produced in the world. Sadly, those statistics no longer hold true today. In the early years of production Vincent Bach remained very involved with production, ensuring the company would properly honor his legacy. Some suggest the horns made at this time may even surpass the quality of earlier Mt. Today, musicians are very careful when selecting an old Bach trumpet. Many processes have changed over the years since Vincent Bach died in 1976, and the general concept of production and value has changed within the company. While the company has invested in resurrecting the spirit of the old days, the magic of the old Mt. Vernon and early Elkhart Bach Trumpets is unquestionable!
