Bach Stradivarius 180S37 Silver Trumpet
One of several professional trumpets we are offering for sale. This is a Bach Stradivarius 180S37 silver trumpet in Bb. It is in very good condition: silver plate about 99.5% with no noticeable worn spots if any at all. Small, scattered dings and imperfections left over from past dent removal, but no major dents or dings. Unlike most of the trumpets you may be looking at, this has just been through the shop where it was disassembled, chem cleaned, detergent cleaned, had all new tuning slide O-rings, water key cork, piston felts, and stop rod bumper installed. Valves are fast and smooth with very good compression. Note that this is oiled with SYNTHETIC oil and you must use the same or thoroughly clean the pistons and casings prior to switching to a petroleum-based product. All tuning slides are free including the third-valve dump slide. Plays very nicely with spot-on slotting and an easy-to-reach upper register. Tuning slide grease is for local pickup only, but it does include a Bach 7C mouthpiece and a new ProTec microfiber cloth. Comes in the deluxe, zippered hard case which feels like the pin from one hinge is missing, but is securely held by the zippered cover and is nearly new. Sells new for $3,399 at M&A, so save more than $1,500, and snatch this one up just in time for a new marching band season!
