FEATURES

Excellent for all-around playing, the Bach 18043 Stradivarius pro trumpet features a standard-weight body and #43 bell to produce a broad, bright, open sound that allows this trumpet to work well in settings from jazz to concert to solo playing. The #25 leadpipe allows for slight resistance that is effective in centering tone production while the clear lacquer finish provides a subtle warmth. These features combined with a .459" medium-large bore allow the player to produce a well-rounded sound, suitable for all types of music.
