Bach Stradivarius 229/25A “CL” S/n 332406

No Case / No Mouthpiece

There is a small wrinkle near the bell brace, certainly no trauma.  You can’t really get a picture of it but i felt obliged to mention it.  Very fine playing with excellent compression in the pistons and slides.  The intonation is spot on. No Case/ No Mouthpiece, but we have plenty of new and used cases for purchase.

Manufactured probably around Vincent Bach death – 1989 Excellent playing horn perfect for studio, solo, and Chamber playing. Very easy to play with a big sound.  Valves are fast and have lots of compression.

Large Bore .462

25A – Longer than 25C. Many people find this has slightly less resistance than the 25C…Not much of a difference at all.

229 Tighter and brighter sounding than the 239. Sound doesn’t spread as much to the sides and the 239…the sound is more direct and focused.Tends to be slightly broader than 239. (Similar to 43) Classical Nice sound, really cuts through the orchestra.
