OFFLINE Bach Stradivarius Trumpet, LR190-43B, Lacquer

Full Description

Great for all-around playing

What really makes the Bach Strad LR190-43B stand out is the two-piece valve casting construction. 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. This two-piece construction is two-thirds brass and one-third nickel-silver. This mix of materials provides you with a quick response, better feedback from the instrument, and an overall larger core sound.

Unlike the standard 190-43, the LR190-43B is better suited for soloists and lead players. This is because the #43 bronze bell is very responsive and lively. This type of design is ideally suited for jazz or mariachi musicians who need to stand out with crisp articulation.

The #25LR leadpipe offers a reversed design. By having no narrowing in the tuning slide means your air path is uninterrupted, which is better for loud volumes. This means less resistance resulting in the flexibility of the instrument opening up. Along with the lightweight body and the .459" medium-large bore, the LR190-43B trumpet produces a fantastic and clear tone with lots of projection and character.

Quality American construction

All Bach Stradivarius trumpets are handmade in America by highly skilled craftspeople and artisans. The LR190-43B is constructed from high-quality lightweight yellow brass which is the most popular material for trumpets. This is because yellow brass produced a very versatile tone that can be performed in a variety of different musical environments. Once the LR190-43B has been constructed, it is finished in a bright clear lacquer to keep the instrument looking newer for longer.

The LR190-43B features 1st and 3rd slide thumb saddles with the addition of a rod stop on the 3rd slide, so precise tuning can be achieved. The valves in the trumpet are crafted from monel which is a nickel and copper alloy. Monel valves are found in all Stradivarius trumpets as they are smooth, resistant to corrosion, and hardwearing.

Included accessories

The Stradivarius LR190-43B includes a Bach 3C Mouthpiece, which is one of the best selling mouthpieces on the market. It offers a medium cup and medium-wide rim - ideal for performers who require a mellow and dark tone from their trumpet. As well as this, a hard moulded zipper Bach Case is included. The case is made from a wood shell, covered in black fabric, and is padded securely 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.
