Description
The Bach Stradivarius 190S37 is one of the most requested professional Bach trumpets among longtime Bach players, combining iconic vintage-inspired construction with modern refinements for improved response, intonation, and consistency. Built around a Mt. Vernon-weight, one-piece #37 bell and .459" medium-large bore, the 190S37 delivers the focused, vibrant, broad, and agile sound that defines the classic Bach playing experience.
Classic Bach Bell Design
The one-piece, side-seam Mt. Vernon-weight #37 yellow brass bell features a round steel-wire bell bead for exceptional resonance and projection. Paired with the classic #25 leadpipe, this bell design produces a rich, vibrant sound that remains broad and brilliant while retaining the agility needed for demanding musical passages.
Refined Valve Cluster and Response
Bach's updated two-piece valve block incorporates nickel balusters, nickel outer slides, nickel top and bottom caps, and brass valve guides. The redesigned valve cluster was developed through extensive examination of historic Bach instruments to provide faster response and a more vibrant sound across the dynamic range.
Vintage-Inspired Features, Modern Performance
The 190S37 combines a wide-wrap design with new nickel Z braces inspired by classic New York, Mt. Vernon, and Elkhart-era Bach instruments. The updated #25 leadpipe features an improved receiver design and construction techniques for enhanced efficiency, response, and intonation. A 1st slide brace and 3rd slide stop rod provide additional control for precise playing.
