This is a MINT Bach Stradivarius Artisan AC190S Professional trumpet. WOW! Each Artisan C trumpet is made with a one-piece hand-hammered yellow brass bell with a flat rim and special acoustic treatment in both material and manufacturing process resulting in a beautiful Bach Stradivarius sound with a larger core and a broader range of color. The two-piece valve construction with nickel balusters and brass casings harkens back to the construction techniques used by Vincent Bach when making classic Bach trumpets in New York City and Mount Vernon. Monel pistons along with two sets of brass and plastic valve guides offer the player a choice in response and feel. The 3rd valve tone enhancing ring offers yet another choice in response. The extended 3rd slide rod stop allows the player to extend the range to low F. The 1st slide split ring enhanced radius ferrules sculpted bracing and artistic engraving are all key contributors to the unique response while providing an unparalleled elegance in appearance. The silver-plate finish of the AC190S provides a controlled brilliance to the overall sound.This particular instrument is in superb condition. It wasa customer return-the customer bought this one and the lacquer version and played both for a week, and decided to keep the lacquer one. Pics tell the rest of the story!
