Bach
Description

The Bach C190SL229X Stradivarius Series Elkhart X-Inspired Professional C Trumpet features design elements from classic Elkhart-era instruments of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Built with a .462" large bore and a Mt. Vernon weight 229 bell, the horn projects a clear, brilliant sound with quick response. The standout X dual bore main tuning slide is tapered, moving from .462" to .459", giving more punch and agility for high-level play. Nickel silver slides and monel pistons add durability and smooth action, while the silver plate finish offers a bright stage presence. This model comes equipped with a Gard double case and a 3C mouthpiece, supporting both practice and performance needs.

Bach Dual Bore Slide Adds Speed and Clarity

Players seeking a broad, lively tone with fast response will notice how the X bore main tuning slide on this trumpet changes airflow and articulation. The wide span Z braces and the 229 yellow brass bell help the instrument maintain a focused, energetic sound even at higher volumes. Students moving toward professional work or orchestral musicians needing a reliable C trumpet for precision passages will find the slide action and bell resonance enhance every phrase. Clear projection and flexible playability make this model a strong choice for challenging repertoire and demanding performance schedules.
