- Year of Manufacture: Based on official Conn-Selmer records, serial number 700,000 was reached in May 2012, and serial number 752,574 was reached in 2015. This places this trumpet right in that modern 2012–2015 window.
- Factory Location: It was built at the Conn-Selmer factory in Elkhart, Indiana, USA.
🎺 Specifications:
- Model 180: This means it features a standard-weight body with a traditional one-piece valve casing.
- ML (.459″ Bore): “ML” stands for Medium-Large bore. At .459 inches, this is the industry standard size that provides the perfect balance of air resistance and sound focus.
- 37 Bell: The “#37” is a one-piece, hand-hammered yellow brass bell. It is the most popular bell Bach makes because it provides a rich, compact, and highly versatile sound that fits great in both classical orchestras and jazz ensembles.
- 25 Leadpipe: Your model standardly comes with a standard construction #25 leadpipe. This adds a slight bit of resistance that helps you center your tone and lock in your pitches.
The silver looks brand new and shiny. There are no dents, and the valves and slides move perfectly. It includes the original hard case.
