Welcome to Ashantee Music! Matching Exceptional Students With Quality Instruments. One of several professional trumpets we are offering for sale. This is a Bach Stradivarius 180S37 silver trumpet in Bb with the additional 1. Valve trigger not found on most 37’s. S/n 116XXX makes this around 1977, though there is a small gap in the serial number lists at that point. It looks far newer and to have been played very carefully and very little. Silver plating about 99.5% with little if any wear at all, and just a couple very small dings left over from careful and minor dent removal. No signs of repair or major dent removal. Valves are fast and smooth and quiet with very good compression. All tuning slides are free including the third-valve dump slide which is so often stuck on vintage horns. Just through the shop where it was chem cleaned, detergent cleaned, lubed, polished, and had all new tuning slide O-rings, water key cork, piston felts and stop rod bumper installed. Copper bottom straight mute, Harmon wow-wow mute, polishing cloth, Bach 5C and 7C mouthpieces, new ProTec microfiber cloth, and new ProTec leather finger protector. All in the vintage hard case with minor wear and what looks like tiny paint splatters, but structurally in good condition. A great-playing horn from a great period with a hard-to-find trigger, and super hard to find in this condition!
