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.
