Bach

Description

The Bach 190 Stradivarius professional Bb trumpet brings together vintage construction methods and modern design for players seeking bold projection and responsive playability. Built around a medium-large .459" bore and a two-piece valve chassis, this trumpet uses lightweight nickel inner slides and balusters for a fast, vibrant response. Its Mt. Vernon weight, side seam #72 bell in yellow brass features a French bead, a technique from the 1950s that pushes sound forward with remarkable clarity. Combined with a #43 gold brass leadpipe and unlacquered finish, the horn delivers an electric, sizzly tone that stands out in ensemble work or solo playing. Every detail, from the nickel Z braces to the redesigned valve cluster, supports focused sound and reliable performance for experienced musicians.

Bach Craftsmanship Delivers Forward Projection and Fast Response

Brass musicians who value quick articulation and a broad, sizzling sound will notice the Mt. Vernon weight bell and French bead immediately. The combination of yellow brass and gold brass, plus the nickel reinforcements, creates a trumpet that thrives under dynamic pressure, keeping its tone centered at every volume. The redesigned valve cluster speeds up response, while the unlacquered finish lets the sound mature naturally over time. Used by top commercial players and shaped by artist feedback, this instrument supports musical growth and confident, expressive playing on any stage. Every feature comes together for a horn that projects easily and keeps sound crisp through any musical challenge.
