Bach LR190 Stradivarius Professional Bb Trumpet - Silver-Plated with 43 Bronze Bell and Reversed Leadpipe

A Next-level Mariachi Horn from Bach

The LR190S43B Stradivarius takes Bach's best-selling 180 series and improves upon it. The result is a professional-level trumpet with unprecedented tone and playability. This horn's .459-inch bore yields a focused, well-rounded sound, while its reversed #25LR leadpipe offers the snappy response and lower breath resistance of a lightweight model. The LR190S43B is tailor-made for mariachi musicians, courtesy of its 1-piece, hand-hammered #43 bronze bell — a first for a professional Bach trumpet. Top-of-the-line Monel valves supply you with extra durability and added warmth, while 2-piece valve construction arms you with a tight, staccato-like response. You'll welcome the straightforward adjustability supplied by this trumpet's first slide finger ring and adjustable reversed third slide rod stop, and its silver-plated brass body infuses every note you play with the perfect hint of brilliance. Deluxe engraving completes the look of this horn. The Vincent Bach LR190S43B Stradivarius delivers a tonal color, intonation, and playability that you're sure to appreciate.

Pro-level performance for discriminating players

The LR190S43B Stradivarius is a professional-level trumpet that delivers top-shelf performance for mariachi musicians. Its yellow brass reversed #25LR leadpipe offers less breath resistance than a standard one, while its .459-inch, medium-large bore ensures a focused sound that's brimming with color. This horn's rugged Monel valves offer smooth action while safeguarding against performance-wrecking air leaks. Plus, 2-piece valve construction, vintage bracing, and lightweight valve slides with brass inner and outer slide tubes provide a broad sound with a super-fast response and outstanding tactile feedback. The LR190S43B's first slide finger ring facilitates easy intonation adjustments, while its third valve sports an adjustable reversed slide rod stop.

1-piece hand-hammered bronze bell

The Bach LR190S43B Stradivarius is equipped with a 1-piece, 5-inch bell with a #43 taper. Constructed from hand-hammered bronze, this bell features a flat rim, delivering a brighter sound than a standard #37 taper, that's also broader and more open. The LR190S43B features a silver-plated finish, which brings a controlled brilliance to your overall sound. The LR190S43B takes on a sweet quality when you play it softly, but it also produces a shimmering, regal sound when you give it more air — it delivers an amazing, character-filled sound that's well suited for mariachi.

Building high-quality trumpets for more than a century

Bach trumpets are handcrafted using top-shelf brass to deliver the utmost in durability and performance, with a signature sound that's preferred by professionals worldwide.
