Bach 37 Stradivarius Bb Trumpet Silver with Onyx and Gold Trim

This is my Bach Stradivarius 37 bell trumpet with silver plating and gold trim, which includes gold painted inside the bell, gold valve stopper, gold spit valve/water key, and gold valve caps (top and bottom) with gold stems and black/white onyx inlays. Included is the Bach Artisan trumpet case with key (in the orange envelope) and both the original valve caps as well as heavy weight valve caps.

I bought this second-hand a little over 10 years ago second hand and used it as my daily player throughout school, college, and local bands and orchestras since then. It plays like a classic Bach should, and the gold customization makes it a truly one-of-a-kind.

I’ve debated whether I want to sell this or not, but I just am not using it and would rather see it go to a good home, whether it be a young player excited to move into a professional instrument or someone looking for a solid trumpet that catches eyes.

It shows normal wear for its age, meaning scratches, tarnish, or plating erosion are relatively minimal. I had the tuning slide adjusted by Charlie Melk a few years ago, but otherwise have not had any work done to it outside of professional cleanings. The case also shows normal wear on the outside and on the closure tab inside where the mouthpieces and accessories go, but it is truly a phenomenal case in its protection ability and rigid strength.
