Bach Stradivarius Trumpet
Model 180S-37
In concert halls around the world,
professional trumpet players will be
found playing the Bach Stradivarius 180S37 Silver-Plated Trumpet. The
depth and color of sound, coupled with the even intonation and
response, make the 180S37 a top choice. The most popular of all Bach
trumpets for good all-around playing, features standard weight body and
bell, and standard construction #25 mouthpipe.

FEATURES

| BELLS |
This is
achieved by the use of one-piece construction, allowing for
unrestricted vibration of the bell. The shape of the tapered surface,
or rate of bell flare, determines the characteristic sound of the
instrument. Bells with fast tapers produce dark, warm sounds, while
slow tapers yield bright tones. Bach offers many bell options. The
number designation on a Bach bell refers to the mandrel (tooling used
to shape the flare) number, not to any diameter or measurement (for
example, all B-flat trumpet bells have the same diameter).
The type and
thickness of the bell material also affect the sound. Gold brass,
softer and more red than a standard yellow brass due to a higher copper
content (85% as opposed to 70%), results in a warm tone. Sterling Plus
bells (99.9% pure silver, seamless construction) create a full
complement of partials (overtones) in the tonal spectrum, for a focused
sound with great projection. Lightweight bells respond quickly for a
lively sound. For situations involving high dynamic levels without
distortion or dark qualitities, choose a heavy-weight bell (in either
yellow or gold brass) |

| MOUTHPIPES AND
CROOKS |
| The
venturi(constriction) and rate of taper in the mouthpipe affect the
trumpet's characteristic sound. Like the bell, mouthpipes with fast
tapers result in warm tones, while slow tapers produce bright sounds.
Bach offers several mouthpipe options. Musicians desiring a more open,
less resistant instrument should consider the reversed construction. By
eliminating a step where the pipe connects to the main tuning slide,
the air moves more freely. Reversed construction results in a longer
pipe maintaining constant taper for improved intonation. The rounded
main tuning slide crook option, in eliminating tight bends, moves the
air more freely for an open feel. |
| BORES |
One
of the biggest misconceptions is that the bore size determines an
instrument's tone quality. While the bore does play a role, primarily
the rate of taper in the mouthpipe and bell section influence whether
the sound is dark or bright. A trumpet bore is measured at the inside
diameter of the second valve slide. Bach Stradivarius trumpets are
offered in a number of bore sizes. While large bore instruments may
have greater volume of sound and carrying power, they require more
effort to play. Most musicians will prefer a medium-large bore Bach.
The Vindabona dual bore features a medium-large valve section and a
small inner diameter on the top of the main tuning slide with the
transition actually occuring in the main tuning slide crook, creating
the effect of a more conical bore instrument with a dark, warm sound. |
