Bach Stradivarius 180S37 Silver Trumpet--Exceptional!
One of several professional trumpets we are offering for sale. This is a Bach Stradivarius 180S37 Bb trumpet in silver. It is in exceptional condition: plating about 99.9% with little if any wear at all, and a dark, even patina that we should best just to leave alone. No noticeable dings or marks. I hate to use terms like “perfect,” but you’d have to look pretty hard to find even a small imperfection. Unlike most of the trumpets you may be looking at, this is just through the shop where it was chem cleaned, detergent cleaned, lubed, and had all new tuning slide O-rings, water key cork, piston felts, and stop rod bumper installed. Valves are fast and smooth with such good compression that the tuning slides pop almost all the way out on their own. All tuning slides are free including the third-valve dump slide. Comes in the Bach hard case with a worn but functional handle. Tuning slide grease and valve oil are for local pickup only and will not be shipped, but it does include a ton of extras: Humes & Berg Stone Lined straight and cup mutes, Bach 7C mouthpiece, cleaning snake, casing brush, mouthpiece brush, lyre, cleaning rod, and polishing cloth. Sells new for a whopping $3,399 at the discount places like M&A, so save about $1,400, and snatch up one of the nicest you’ll find on the used market just in time for a new marching band season!
