OFFLINE Bach Stradivarius Trumpet, LT190L1B, L Bore, Lacquer

Full Description

Great for lively playing

What really makes the Bach Strad LT1901B stand out is the hand-hammered #1 bell. This bell was the first bell to be sketched by the illustrious Vincent Bach. It was designed alongside top players around the world, and a lightweight bronze material was decided on.

The #43 leadpipe is an excellent leadpipe which offers an open feeling with less resistance than a standard #25. This is why the #43 leadpipe is a favourite among lead players. Along with the .462" large bore, the LT190L1B trumpet produces a lively and clear tone which is perfectly suited for cutting through the rest of the ensemble.

Just like the rest of the 190 series, the LT190L1B features two-piece valves. This style of construction is reminiscent of the original Mount Vernon trumpets produced in the late 60s. Because of how the manufacturing technology advanced, all trumpets since then have featured a one-piece valve construction. Unlike the standard 190, the LT190L1B features two-thirds brass and one-third bronze. This mix of materials provides you with a quick response, better feedback from the instrument, and an overall larger core sound.

Quality American construction

All Bach Stradivarius trumpets are handmade in America by highly skilled craftspeople and artisans. To give the LT190L1B its premium tone, it's constructed from high-quality lightweight bronze. The bronze provides plenty of resonance and flexibility, and combines perfectly with the matching lightweight bronze body. The lightweight bronze really makes this Strad a lively and responsive instrument. Once the LT190L1B has been constructed, it is finished in a bright clear lacquer to keep the instrument looking newer for longer.

The LT190L1B features 1st and 3rd slide rings for a comfortable grip. Other premium additions include monel valves, a forward-facing 2nd valve slide and crescent-shaped valve pull knobs. The LT190L1B even includes two tuning slide - D shape and sing radius - so you can choose which you prefer.

Included accessories

The Stradivarius LT190L1B includes a Bach 3E Mouthpiece, which is one of Bach's best selling mouthpieces. This mouthpiece is perfect for players who want a large mouthpiece but with a shallow cup - perfect for high register playing. As well as this, a hard moulded Bach Case is included. The case is made from a wood shell and padded securely inside to protect the trumpet. All the corners of the case are reinforced to provide extra protection. On top of all this, valve oil and slide grease are included to keep maintaining the instrument a very easy task.

The Stradivarius series

All Stradivarius trumpets are exceptional symphonic instruments. Originally designed and manufactured by Vincent Bach in the early 1920s, Bach trumpets are still made to the same rigorous high standards. By only using the best quality materials and combining them with proprietary manufacturing methods, the name Vincent Bach soon became synonymous with superior instruments. The name "Stradivarius" originates from the first trumpets made by Vincent Bach himself. Musicians would refer to his original trumpets as having a "Stradivarius", referring to the world-famous string instruments. It was this which later inspired the name of the series - Stradivarius.
