The Bach 180 Stradivarius professional Bb trumpet with reverse leadpipe is crafted for demanding players who expect responsive performance and refined projection.

With a .459" medium-large bore, the trumpet feels open and free, letting players shape their sound with precision. Monel pistons ensure smooth, reliable valve action. The instrument is available in both lacquer and silver plate finishes, each adding a distinct character to the tone. Every detail reflects Vincent Bach’s engineering legacy, producing an instrument favored by artists worldwide.
