Bach Stradivarius Bb Trumpet - Mt. Vernon
Location:
Whittier, CA
Description:
THE BACH STRADIVARIUS “Among brass instruments the ‘Stradivarius Model’ Bach Trumpet occupies the same supreme position as the genuine Stradivarius Violin among string instruments. Both are masterpieces, the perfection of which is beyond dispute. The Bach Trumpet is a Patrician among instruments; absolutely precise in each mechanical detail, made in exact accordance with established acoustical principles and combining every improved feature that human skill and ingenuity have conceived as applicable to trumpet building” By the time Vincent Bach left the Bronx and began manufacturing trumpets in Mt Vernon, NY, he already had a decades-long reputation for superior design and fine craftsmanship. This trumpet was built in the final years at the Bach Corporation plant on So. MacQuesten Parkway, about 1964. The bell is marked as the Stradivarius Model, but there is no numeric stamp to describe the bell. In those days - the late Mt Vernon period - the bells most used for their medium large Bb trumpets would have been the 43 or the 37. Specs 0.459” ML Bore One piece hand hammered brass bell with French bead Brass valve guides V. BACH MT VERNON, NY stamp on valve casing Original case For the player or collector Intonation is great, response is great, and of course this horn exemplifies that “Bach sound”. Slides move freely and appropriately. Pistons are smooth and quiet, having undergone a valve job in recent years. The original lacquer is perhaps 70% or more intact, with most of the wear on the valve casing and bell. There is evidence of only minor repairs, including the bell. Comes with the original case (good condition!); and also the original letter that was sent out with the purchase of a new Stradivarius detailing how to break in the valves and care for the instrument.
