BACH STRADIVARIUS 190M37X Bb TRUMPET – RAW BRASS – MINT CONDITION – ORIGINAL BACH CASE

DESCRIPTION

Offered here is a Bach Stradivarius 190M37X Professional Bb Trumpet in Raw Brass, complete with the original Bach case.

The 190 Series was developed by Bach as a vintage-inspired evolution of the Stradivarius platform, incorporating design elements from some of the most sought-after New York and Mt. Vernon era instruments while maintaining modern consistency and reliability.

This example features the desirable M+ (.456”) bore design, a one-piece hand-hammered #37 bell with a traditional French bead, lightweight vintage-inspired construction, and the lively response that has made the 190M37X one of the most respected modern Bach models.

One of the defining features of the 190M37X is its French bead bell construction. Combined with the lightweight design, the French bead contributes to the horn’s exceptional resonance, responsiveness, and broad tonal palette while maintaining the rich Bach sound players expect.

Finished in raw brass, the instrument has developed a beautiful natural patina that complements the vintage-inspired design of the 190 Series. The result is a unique appearance that stands apart from traditional lacquered or silver-plated instruments.

WHY THIS HORN

The 190M37X was designed to bridge the gap between traditional Medium and Medium-Large bore instruments. Its proprietary M+ (.456”) bore provides the efficiency and response of a medium bore trumpet while maintaining much of the breadth and projection associated with larger bore instruments.

Many players consider the 190 Series to be among the finest modern Bach trumpets ever produced. The combination of the French bead bell, lightweight vintage-inspired construction, and M+ bore creates a horn that feels remarkably alive and responsive in the hands.

The French bead bell and lightweight design provide increased resonance, quicker response, and a broader tonal palette compared to many standard production Stradivarius models.

The raw brass finish further enhances the vintage aesthetic and has developed a beautiful natural patina that gives this instrument a unique appearance and character.

This example stands out because of its exceptional condition. It appears to have seen very little playing time and remains remarkably well preserved.

With current professional Bach Stradivarius models selling for substantially more, this represents an opportunity to acquire one of Bach’s most desirable modern designs at a significant savings.
