Key Features
The Bach Stradivarius "New York" Trumpet, LT180-77, Silver Plate brings back classic techniques to achieve an unmatched tonal quality. The #7 bell features a classic French-bead flat rim, which was popular in the 30s. The trumpet also has a vintage 1930's mouthpiece receiver for a classic sound. Still to this day, all Stradivarius trumpets are handcrafted in the USA using proprietary manufacturing methods: you cannot find this attention to detail anywhere else.
If you're looking for a trumpet that is capable of rising above the rest of the orchestra with a beautiful broad tone, then the Bach LT180-77 is for you. Boasting a lightweight body, this instrument produces a bright tone. The large boar and #7 leadpipe construction allow the sound to resonate and project beautifully to the back of the concert hall.

The LT180-77 features a lightweight body. This body is perfect for musicians seeking a lively trumpet with a brighter sound and quicker response. This type of design is ideally suited for theatre or jazz musicians who play lead, but also need to blend in with the rest of the section. The #7 bell found on the LT180-77 is a hand-hammered, one-piece bell which produces a strong and powerful tone. This classic design with the French-bead rim produces a nuanced tone and projects well.
The #7 leadpipe contributes to the overall sound by providing just the right amount of resistance to keep the trumpet's sound clean and crisp. This helps with the projection of the sound and also the tonal quality. The combination of a quick response and some resistance means the Bach "New York" trumpet is ideal for all genres of music as it has such a versatile sound.
All Bach Stradivarius trumpets are handmade in America by highly skilled craftspeople and artisans. The LT180S-77 is constructed from high-quality yellow brass which is the most popular material for trumpets. This is because yellow brass produced a very versatile tone that can be performed in a variety of different musical environments. Once the LT180-77 has been constructed, it is finished in a bright silver plate to keep the instrument looking newer for longer.
The LT180-77 features first and third slide thumb saddles with the addition of a rod stop on the third slide, so precise tuning can be achieved. The valves in the trumpet are crafted from monel which is a nickel and copper alloy. Monel valves are found in all Stradivarius trumpets as they smooth, resistant to corrosion, and hardwearing.
The Stradivarius LT180-77 includes a Bach 7C Mouthpiece, which is one of the best selling mouthpieces on the market. It offers an all-round sound that is suitable for both the high and low register, while also providing a great tone suitable for all players. As well as this, a hard moulded Bach Case is included. The case is made from a wood shell and padded securely inside to protect the trumpet. All the corners of the case are reinforced to provide extra protection. On top of all this, valve oil and slide grease are included to keep maintaining the instrument a very easy task.
All Stradivarius trumpets are exceptional symphonic instruments. Originally designed and manufactured by Vincent Bach in the early 1920s, all Bach trumpets are still made to the same rigorous high standards. By only using the best quality materials and combining them with proprietary manufacturing methods, the name Vincent Bach soon became synonymous with superior instruments. The name "Stradivarius" originates from the first trumpets made by Vincent Bach himself. Musicians would refer to his original trumpets as having a "Stradivarius", referring to the world-famous string instruments. It was this which later inspired the name of the series - Stradivarius.
