Pre-Owned Bach Stradivarius 311 Bb Piccolo Trumpet - Clear Lacquer
We have another genuinely rare find in the shop today, coming to us from the same local Houston collector who has been bringing in some incredible vintage pieces. Most players are well acquainted with the modern Bach piccolo models, but this is a much harder-to-find Bach Stradivarius 311 dating back to the late 1960s.
Small, cute, and packing a serious punch, this is a fantastic opportunity to grab a unique piece of Bach history. It provides the iconic, brilliant projection that Bach Stradivarius trumpets are famous for, scaled down into a nimble, agile high-voice instrument.
