It presents in 100% “like new” condition—no dents, no dings, zero lacquer wear, and flawless valve action.

Bach Stradivarius 72MLV S/n 802049 AS new with original Case and Mpc

Bach Stradivarius 72MLV trumpet with serial number 802049 is a premium, professional-level instrument built with highly desirable historic specifications. Given its “like new” condition with the original case and mouthpiece, it carries significant value for collectors, jazz soloists, and classical orchestral players alike.

Specifications

Model 72 Bell: This model features a wider bell flare compared to the standard 37. It delivers a broader, darker, and much fuller core sound that can easily project and handle aggressive playing without distorting. [1, 2, 3]
MLV Bore (Vindabona): The “Medium-Large Vindabona” design features a unique stepped bore. It starts tighter near the valves (.448″) and expands out to a large bore (.459″). This architecture mimics the warm, conical characteristics of a cornet but retains the projection and sizzle of a cylindrical trumpet.
Serial Number (802049): Authentic American-made Bach Stradivarius pro horns traditionally utilize a 6-digit sequence stamped into the second valve casing. A serial number starting in the 800,000 range places its assembly date at the factory in Elkhart, Indiana. Vincent Bach (a subsidiary of Conn-Selmer) reset and overhauled portions of their serial sequence, officially launching the 800,000 block in 2023 to denote updated production and new series lines. With serial number 802049, your horn is a contemporary, modern-production masterpiece that left the Elkhart, Indiana factory within the last few years.

Bach Stradivarius 43* / 43 Lightweight S/N 103564 Silver Plate (Circa 1974)

info@horntrader.com — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 16:00:32 +0000

Bach Stradivarius Model 43* Lightweight Bell / 43 Lightweight pipe
Serial Number 103564 • Elkhart, Indiana • Circa 1974

An outstanding Elkhart-era Bach Stradivarius featuring the highly desirable 43* Lightweight Bell and finished in excellent original silver plate.

This trumpet delivers everything players love about a great Bach: a rich, resonant core, brilliant projection, secure slotting, and exceptional versatility. The lightweight bell adds quick response, enhanced resonance, and a lively feel that makes this horn equally at home in jazz, commercial, concert band, and solo settings.

Mechanically, this horn is superb. Valves are fast and smooth with excellent compression and a strong “POP,” while all slides move freely and effortlessly. The silver plating remains in exceptional condition, giving the instrument both outstanding appearance and performance.

Whether you’re a professional player, serious enthusiast, or collector of fine American-made trumpets, this Bach represents one of the most sought-after combinations from the Elkhart years.

A beautiful-playing vintage Strad with exceptional response, outstanding compression, and the unmistakable sound that made Bach the world’s most respected professional trumpet.

The factors adding value are:

Elkhart manufacture
43* Lightweight Bell
43 Leadpipe
Excellent silver plating
Outstanding compression
Strong valve action

Bach Stradivarius 43* Lightweight Bell
43 Leadpipe
Serial #103564 (circa 1974 Elkhart)
Excellent original silver plate
Excellent POP compression
Fast valves
All slides smooth and free
No significant dents, repairs, red rot, or plating wear

I was told that the horn had a 43 pipe installed. (see picture) There is no evidence of that except solder marks on the underside of the braces. (see Pictures)

and the receipt from Mouthpiece express for the 43 pipe

There is no number on the mouthpiece receiver but the horn plays a tad more open with a beautiful warm sound.

This horn is a player! I would place this horn in the upper tier of vintage player-grade Elkhart Bachs.

Bach Stradivarius B♭ 190L65GV Vindabona Sn/ 809633 Lacquer

info@horntrader.com — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 16:00:31 +0000

Highly anticipated BIG Vindabona just arrived! I played this model on the Touring Broadway show “SUFFS” and got nothing but compliments.

The Gold Brass 65 Bell is particularly attractive in the lacquer finish.

Bach Stradivarius B♭ 190L65GV Vindabona Sn/ 809633

Bore Size: (LV) .459/.462” Bore

The new 190L65GV is the long-awaited successor to the classic Bach Vindabona trumpet models. Bach worked with their top artists to improve on Bach’s original design concepts of a large bell flare with a step bore design to create something special. A revised #43 leadpipe with a nickel receiver and new LV bore size that grows from .459″ to .462″ balances the Bach #65 bell, the largest one in our portfolio. This trumpet provides the player with the ultimate breadth and richness of sound while maintaining the classic Bach quality. A new bore size was developed to allow the player an ease of response at all dynamic ranges and registers. Vincent Bach’s original idea of pairing the bore and bell size of a German rotary trumpet with the valve block of a French instrument gave birth to a uniquely American trumpet sound.

Bach’s Research & Development team examined the most famous horns in Bach’s history to identify the optimal weight, construction, material, and assembly of Bach’s valve cluster. As a result of their efforts, they have produced a newly designed valve cluster delivering a faster response and a more vibrant sound. Nothing beats the sound of Bach.

Features

The 190L65GV is built on a Large bore Vindabona (‘LV’) .462″ two-piece valve chassis with nickel balusters, nickel outer slides, and brass valve guides. The new bore size takes the horn from medium-large bore to large bore in the same style as the MLV, for players looking for an even bigger sound than the MLV but still desiring efficiency. The standard weight, side-seam 5″ #65G bell with a round brass wire bell is heavier than normal for the 190 series. The additional weight provides the player with an even richer core to their sound and the freedom to push their instrument without fear of the sound getting crass. The #65 bell flare is Bach’s largest bell design and provides the player with unparalleled breadth and warmth. The choice of gold brass makes the sound even richer and more mellow at soft dynamics while still allowing the player to get bright at loud dynamics. The wide bracing is balanced with the addition of the first slide brace to help with focus and projection. The redesigned #43 leadpipe gives the horn a free-blowing and easy feel, especially when combined with the newly designed LV tuning slide. The brilliance of the #43 leadpipe perfectly balances the large bell. This instrument is the ideal choice for the player looking for the ultimate, rich, dark sound that can still project. Artists have done everything from the Hindemith Sonata, to the smokiest ballads and even lead trumpet.

Specifications

Standard weight two-piece valve block with nickel balusters, nickel outer slides, nickel top and bottom caps, brass rings, and brass fingerhook
5″, one-piece, side seam, standard weight #65G bell with a steel wire round bead in gold brass
Wide wrap with nickel Z braces and 1st slide brace
Updated #43 leadpipe provides an easy and free blowing brilliance

Bach Stradivarius Model 180-37 Bb S/n 732815 (Silver ) Like New!

info@horntrader.com — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 16:00:04 +0000

Bach Stradivarius Model 180-37 Bb trumpet S/n 732815 was manufactured between 2012 and 2015.

This instrument is widely considered the professional standard for trumpet players. Below is a breakdown of what the model numbers and serial number mean for your specific horn. [1]

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.

Artisan Bach 37 / Louisville Leadpipe S/n A9567

info@horntrader.com — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 16:00:03 +0000

This horn is an excellent player! Comes with the original 3rd Slide “dump slide”, leadpipe and the original Bach two horn Case

A Very high-end, custom professional trumpet setup combining a premium factory model with a world-renowned aftermarket upgrade.

This Artisan Bach 37 was manufactured sometime after 2010. Bach introduced the “Artisan” series that year, and these models use a dedicated, separate serial number sequence starting with the letter “A”.

Because the factory does not publish a public breakdown of these “A-prefix” serial numbers, a specific year cannot be assigned to A9567. However, because the Artisan line began at A2010 in 2010, and Bach manufactures a limited number of these professional instruments yearly, a serial number in the 9000s indicates the horn was likely built within the last several years.

The Components

Bach Artisan: This refers to the Bach Stradivarius Artisan series (e.g., AB190 Bb or AC190 C trumpet). Introduced as a premium tier above the standard Stradivarius, Artisan horns feature retro-inspired two-piece valve casings, nickel balusters, and single-piece, hand-hammered bells with flat rims. They are highly prized for their expansive acoustic core and vast tonal color palette.
Louisville Leadpipe: This is a famous aftermarket component built by master craftsman Cliff Blackburn (now produced under Pickett Blackburn). Originally created to fix the intonation inconsistencies of factory Bach trumpets, “Louisville Leadpipes” are swapped onto existing horns to instantly optimize response, slotting, and center the intonation. This pipe was installed by Pickett/ Blackburn
Serial Number A9567: This is the tracking identifier for this specific custom build, repair log, or individual inventory listing.

Performance Impact

Swapping a stock Artisan leadpipe for a Blackburn Louisville pipe radically changes how the horn blows. It preserves the rich, vintage core of the Artisan bell but offers the superior slots, crisp articulation, and effortless upper-register balance that Blackburn pipes are universally known for.
