The Bach 19072V Vindabona Stradivarius delivers a sound reminiscent of a rotary trumpet, yet with the comfort of a conventional piston-equipped instrument. This horn’s conical bore offers a darker, warmer sound than a cylindrical bore, while its #44 leadpipe adds a touch of brightness for flexible tone placement, while ensuring an open, free-blowing feel. The 19072V features a 1-piece, yellow brass, French bead #72 bell for a strong, powerful sound with amazing projection ? the perfect tone for lead playing in all styles. Top-of-the-line monel valves supply you with extra durability, added warmth, and ultra-smooth response. You get a machined valve section for maximum precision, along with a 2-piece valve chassis with nickel balusters, nickel-silver inner and outer slides, and a single tuning slide brace. Moreover, the 19072V’s lacquered brass body infuses every note you play with a subtle, ear-grabbing warmth. Boasting a lighter weight than its previous iterations, the Vincent Bach 19072V Vindabona Stradivarius is a world-class trumpet with outstanding performance.

Pro-level performance for discriminating players





The 19072V Vindabona Stradivarius is a professional-level trumpet that delivers top-shelf performance for a wide variety of applications. Its #44 leadpipe offers a brighter sound than a #43, supplying you with more flexible tone placement and a more open feel with less resistance than a #25. This horn features a progressive or conical bore, rather than a cylindrical bore, which imparts a darker, warmer character. The 19072V’s monel valves offer smooth action while safeguarding against performance-wrecking air leaks. A machined valve section ensures exceptional precision. What’s more, a 2-piece valve chassis with nickel balusters, nickel-silver inner and outer slides, and a single tuning slide brace provide a deep, sonorous sound with a super-fast response and outstanding tactile feedback.

To top it off, the 19072V features a lacquer finish, which brings a delicate warmth to your overall sound and gives the trumpet a shiny, gleaming appearance.
