Pro-level performance for discriminating players





The LR190S43B Stradivarius is a professional-level trumpet that delivers top-shelf performance for mariachi musicians. Its yellow brass reversed #25LR leadpipe offers less breath resistance than a standard one, while its 0.459-inch, medium-large bore ensures a focused sound that's brimming with color. This horn's rugged Monel valves offer smooth action while safeguarding against performance-wrecking air leaks. Plus, 2-piece valve construction, vintage bracing, and lightweight valve slides with brass inner and outer slide tubes provide a broad sound with a super-fast response and outstanding tactile feedback. The LR190S43B's first slide finger ring facilitates easy intonation adjustments, while its third valve sports an adjustable reversed slide rod stop.





1-piece hand-hammered bronze bell





The Bach LR190S43B Stradivarius is equipped with a 1-piece, 5-inch bell with a #43 taper. Constructed from hand-hammered bronze, this bell features a flat rim, delivering a brighter sound than a standard #37 taper, that's also broader and more open. The LR190S43B features a silver-plated finish, which brings a controlled brilliance to your overall sound. The LR190S43B takes on a sweet quality when you play it softly, but it also produces a shimmering, regal sound when you give it more air ? it delivers an amazing, character-filled sound that's well suited for mariachi.

Today, the Vincent Bach Corporation is headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana, and they produce a complete line of American-built student, intermediate, and professional trumpets that reflect the same level of tone and playability. Bach trumpets are handcrafted using top-shelf brass to deliver the utmost in durability and performance, with a signature sound that's preferred by professionals worldwide.
