Bach Stradivarius 18037s By chops3c on Feb 12, 2008 - Updated Sep 18, 2011

Being an advanced intermediate student I must say that this trumpet is amazing. When I fist got it I was not a good enough player to realize how great of a horn it is. But now, three years down the line, I am realizing what a great purchase it was. The clarity of tone on the Bach Stradivarius is wonderful. I notice that I receive a very good response from the horn when I try to achieve the tone that I want. Another great feature of this horn is the valves. Before I bought this horn I heard that Bach makes the best valves; I would have to agree. They move with ease and feel very solid. The best part of this horn is how well (in my opinion) it projects. When I play in a large venue I fill the place up with ease. I do not feel any resistance when I must project my sound to the back of a theater. I do not want to say anything else about this horn because I do not know your playing tendencies and I do not want to change the way you think about playing. When deciding to purchase a horn, do not base it off of my playing; you must think about your own playing.
