Bach Stradivarius 180S37 Bb Trumpet - Reverse Leadpipe (25LR)
For sale is a pre-owned, professional Bach Stradivarius Model 180S37 Bb Trumpet, serial number 611991. This is not your standard Model 37; it features the sought-after 25LR (Long Reverse) Leadpipe, which offers a more open, free-blowing feel than the standard model. This instrument is a true "Workhorse"—it has been played heavily, shows cosmetic battle scars, and has had dent work, but it remains a powerful professional tool ready for the stage or field.\
Who Is This Horn For?
This is the perfect instrument for the college jazz player, marching specialist, or gigging musician who needs the professional sound of a Bach Stradivarius but doesn't want to worry about scratching a pristine horn. The "Reverse Leadpipe" configuration makes it exceptional for lead playing or anyone who feels the standard 37 is too "stuffy."
The "LR" Advantage: Open & Responsive
While the standard Bach 37 is famous for its resistance (which helps slotting), the 25LR Leadpipe changes the physics of the instrument.
-
Reverse Leadpipe (25LR): By eliminating the step where the leadpipe goes into the main tuning slide, the air flows more smoothly. This results in less resistance and accurate intonation, allowing you to push more air through the horn with less back-pressure.
-
Performance: This configuration is often preferred by commercial and jazz players because it provides a "sizzle" and responsiveness that standard 37s sometimes lack.
-
Condition Report: This horn is sold in "Workhorse" condition. It shows scratches throughout the silver plate and has evidence of professional dent repair. These are cosmetic imperfections that do not affect the valve action or the core tone of the instrument.
-
Valves: Bach Monel valves are legendary for their durability, and these are ready for action.
