Brand New Bach Stradivarius C190SL229C "Chicago" Professional C Trumpet - Silver Plate
For sale is an absolute masterpiece of modern brass manufacturing: a Brand New Bach Stradivarius C190SL229C "Chicago" Professional C Trumpet in a stunning, factory-fresh Silver Plate finish.
This instrument is the result of an exhaustive collaboration between Conn-Selmer and Esteban Batallán, Principal Trumpet of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The goal was to recreate the exact acoustic profile of the legendary 1955 Mt. Vernon C trumpets that Vincent Bach delivered to the CSO—most notably the horn played by the iconic Adolph "Bud" Herseth. With its specialized narrow wrap and lightweight Mt. Vernon bell, this "New Era Chicago" trumpet offers unparalleled response, immaculate intonation, and a brilliant, soaring tonal core that will project through the thickest orchestral textures.
This is the ultimate instrument for the serious collegiate major, dedicated conservatory student, or gigging orchestral professional. If you demand a C trumpet that provides the historic, vibrant "Chicago" sound with the pristine mechanical reliability of a brand-new factory horn, the C190SL229C is the pinnacle of modern design.
The "Chicago" Advantage
- The 1955 Legacy: An exact acoustic replica of the custom 1955 Bach C trumpets built for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, designed to provide the same effortless playability and iconic resonance.
- Specialized 229 Bell: Features a Mt. Vernon-weight #229 yellow brass bell with a French-style bead and side seam. This lighter bell allows the horn to respond with lightning speed and sizzle brilliantly at high dynamics.
- The 25E Leadpipe: A newly designed leadpipe specifically matched to the Chicago wrap, providing exceptional slotting and pitch accuracy.
- Narrow Wrap & Custom Slides: Built with a narrow wrap and narrow Z-braces for a highly focused sound. It also features short 1st and 3rd tuning slides, as well as a short C tuning crook, offering players superior intonation control.
