The 19037 Stradivarius takes Bach's best-selling trumpet ? the venerable 18037 ? and improves upon it tenfold. The result is a professional-level trumpet with unprecedented tone and playability. This horn's 0.459-inch bore yields a focused, well-rounded sound, while its #25 leadpipe ensures easy-blowing breath resistance. The 19037 features a 1-piece, hand-hammered #37 bell with a side seam and round steel wire rim ? it epitomizes the classic Bach sound that pros have embraced for more than a century. Top-of-the-line monel valves supply you with extra durability, added warmth, and ultra-smooth response. You also get 2-piece valve casing construction, plus nickel-silver outer slides, brass inner slides, and brass and plastic valve guides. You'll welcome the straightforward adjustability supplied by this trumpet's first-slide thumb saddle and adjustable third-slide rod stop, and its clear-lacquered brass body infuses every note with a subtle, ear-grabbing warmth. Whether you're in a jazz ensemble or playing with a symphony orchestra, the Vincent Bach 19037 Stradivarius delivers a tonal color, intonation, and playability that you're sure to appreciate.

Bach: building high-quality trumpets for more than a century





Back in 1918, Austrian-born trumpeter Vincent Bach began making mouthpieces. By 1924, he was employing his expertise as a musician and an engineer to craft high-quality brass instruments. 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. The brass aficionados here at Sweetwater stand by Bach trumpets ? they're world class all the way.
