Bach 180S43 Stradivarius Bb Trumpet - Silver Plated

The Bach Stradivarius 180S43 is one of the world's best-selling professional trumpets, trusted by performers for its versatility, consistent response, and rich, focused tone. Featuring a standard-weight body, one-piece hand-hammered #43 bell, and .459" medium-large bore, the 180S43 produces a broad, bright, open sound that transitions effortlessly between concert, jazz, solo, and ensemble performance.

Professional Bach Sound and Craftsmanship

The 180S43 reflects the craftsmanship and design principles established by Vincent Bach, combining carefully selected brass and nickel materials with precision manufacturing. Its standard-weight construction and one-piece, hand-hammered #43 bell provide excellent resonance and projection while maintaining the depth and tonal color expected from a Bach Stradivarius trumpet.

Versatile Tone and Response

The .459" medium-large bore offers a well-rounded playing experience suitable for a wide variety of musical settings. The standard #25 mouthpipe provides a touch of resistance that helps center the tone and gives players dependable control and response across the instrument's range.

Player-Focused Features

Monel pistons provide smooth, reliable valve action, while the first-slide thumb saddle and adjustable third-slide rod stop allow players to fine-tune their intonation and playing setup. The silver-plated finish offers a classic appearance and contributes to the trumpet's responsive playing characteristics. A genuine Bach 7C mouthpiece and protective case are included.
