Bach Stradivarius 304 Eb trumpet, Lacquer, Good to very good condition.This is from my friend and fellow trumpet player's estate. He was an active semi-pro player in the local symphony and various music groups, and owned several pro-quality instruments. I'm helping the family find homes for them.
The 59,xxx serial number and "Vincent Bach Corporation" on the bell puts it in the early '80's. Bore appears to be .410", the bell is 4.5"
This horn was not played a great amount, and it was obviously well cared-for. The valves are smooth, springs fine, slides are free. The water key cork is intact, as are the valve felts; they're showing some age but still completely serviceable.
There are no noticeable dents or repairs, just a few very small dings and some surface wear in the lacquer where the left hand rides on the 3rd slide, and some surface lacquer pitting on the underside surface of the leadpipe. It is external, not internal.
I've played several D trumpets, I'm not very familiar with the Eb. I've played it a little, using my usual Bach 5c and it's very playable, with a surprisingly full and rich sound, a Yamaha 14b4 brightened it up, almost edgy. It has what I'd call the "standard" Bach sound - rich and full, somewhat focused but not too edgy.
It's not particularly dirty, but I'll wash it out, lube the valves and slides. It will be carefully packed and shipped.
No case or mouthpiece is included.
