Bach 180MLV

The bach 180MLV stradivarius has both positives and negatives in it's designe. Positives include its beautiful rich sound in lower notes which is absolutely fantastic for slow lyrical pieces. Very dark sound with not much edge at all. Because of this unique sound, it is excellent for solos, but you may have trouble blending with others in a brass section, mainly in orchestras. This unique sound mentioned above is both a positive and negative for the horn. If your a first trumpet player or looking to play high and loud jazz charts do not buy this trumpet. I recommend anyone looking to purchase a trumpet to try the bach 180MLV before buying it, as it is quite possible that it won't suit your playing style.
