For sale is a Brand New Bach Stradivarius Model 190S43 Bb Trumpet. Part of the elite "190 Series," this instrument represents the pinnacle of modern Bach manufacturing, revisiting the vintage construction techniques of the legendary 1960s "Mt. Vernon" era. While the standard 180S43 is a great horn, the 190S43 is a completely different animal, offering a broader sound, faster response, and superior feedback to the player.
This is the ultimate instrument for the commercial player, lead trumpeter, or soloist who needs a sound that "shimmers." If you love the brightness of a 43 bell but want the rich core and complex overtones of a vintage Bach, this is the modern solution.
The "190 Series" Difference
The 190S43 is built on a completely different chassis than the standard 180 series.
- Vintage Two-Piece Valve Casings: Unlike the standard one-piece brass casings, the 190 series features two-piece casings with nickel-silver balusters (the top part of the casing). This vintage construction technique provides a quicker response and significantly more feedback to the player behind the horn.
- Side-Seam Bell: The bell is formed with a side seam (rather than the standard rear seam). This allows the bell to vibrate more freely, creating a wider, more colorful sound palette.
- Steel Bell Wire: The rim of the bell contains a steel wire (instead of brass), which increases the "ping" and projection of the attack, making articulation incredibly clear.
- #43 Bell & #25/#26 Leadpipe Combo: The #43 Bell is famous for its brighter, broader sound that lights up a room. Paired with the 190 chassis, it avoids becoming "thin" at high volumes, maintaining a massive, dense core.
