A true vintage treasure, this 1960 Bach Stradivarius Model 37 comes from the legendary Mount Vernon era, known for exceptional craftsmanship and tonal excellence. Revered by orchestral professionals and collectors alike, this trumpet embodies the best of Bach’s design legacy.

Built with a one-piece, hand-hammered #37 bell and medium-large (.459″) bore, this trumpet delivers a warm, centered tone with remarkable projection—ideal for symphonic work, but versatile enough for solo, chamber, and jazz settings. It features a standard #25 leadpipe and classic fixed third-valve finger ring with a slide stop for dependable tuning adjustments.

This particular horn shows honest lacquer wear and patina consistent with age, but retains its original valves, all matched and individually numbered, a vital detail for serious collectors. The connecting bar on the kicker has been replaced, ensuring continued playability.
