Bach Stradivarius LT180S43 43* Silver Trumpet
One of several professional trumpets we are offering for sale. Bach Stradivarius Model LT180S43 (43*) silver trumpet in Bb. This is a 43-taper bell on a lightweight body, which gives it a great balance of color, projection, and responsiveness. It is in exceptional condition: Silver about 99.5 % with just a tiny bit of wear on the right side of the third valve casing as seen in the photos. Very light scratches and imperfections left over from careful dent removal if you really go looking for them to notice them. As you can see in the photos, it’s a bright, shiny, great-looking horn. Best of all, unlike most of the used trumpets you might be looking at, this one is just through the shop where it was chem cleaned, detergent cleaned, lubed, polished, and had all new tuning-slide O-rings, water key cork, and stop rod nuts and bumper installed. All tuning slides free including the third-valve dump slide, which is so often stuck on used Strads. Valves are fast and quiet and smooth with exceptional compression. Appears to have been played very little. Note that this horn is oiled with SYNTHETIC oil and you should use the same or thoroughly clean the pistons and casings prior to switching to a standard product. Comes in the new-style, deluxe C180 hard case which is itself in exceptional condition. A great trumpet for marching band, concert band, orchestra and solo work with a brilliant, centered tone and exceptional projection compared to a standard 37 Strad, lively and responsive, and one of the nicest you'll find on the used market!
