Discerning players searching for the perfect all-around horn need look no further than the world's best-selling professional-level trumpet: the Bach 18037 Stradivarius. With the 18037, you'll experience a focused, character-filled sound, courtesy of its 0.459-inch bore. This horn's #25 lead pipe and D-style radius main tuning slide offer the perfect level of breath resistance and its 1-piece, #37 bell equips you with the classic Bach sound that pros have embraced for more than a century. You also get top-of-the-line monel valves, supplying you with extra durability, added warmth, and ultra-smooth response, along with a high-precision machined valve section and nickel-silver outer slides. You'll welcome the straightforward adjustability supplied by this trumpet's first valve thumb saddle and third valve fixed ring, and its lightweight, clear-lacquered brass body infuses every note with a subtle, ear-grabbing warmth. Whether you're in a jazz ensemble or a symphony orchestra, the Vincent Bach 18037 Stradivarius delivers a tonal color, intonation, and playability that you're sure to appreciate.

Pro-level performance for discriminating players

The 18037 Stradivarius is a professional-level trumpet that delivers top-shelf performance for jazz ensembles and classical soloists alike. Its yellow brass, standard-construction #25 lead pipe and D-style radius main tuning slide offer just enough breath resistance to center your tone, while its 0.459-inch, medium-large bore ensures a focused sound that's brimming with color. This horn's rugged monel valves offer smooth, quick action for playability that's second to none, while safeguarding against performance-wrecking air leaks. The 18037's first valve thumb saddle facilitates easy intonation adjustments, while its third valve sports a fixed ring with an adjustable slide rod stop.

1-piece hand-hammered bell

The Bach 18037 Stradivarius is equipped with a 1-piece, 4.8-inch bell with a #37 taper — the Bach standard. Constructed from hand-hammered yellow brass, this standard-weight bell delivers the rich, compact quality that's defined pro-level trumpets for more than 100 years. The 18037 features a clear lacquer finish, which brings a delicate warmth to your overall sound and gives the trumpet a shiny, gleaming appearance. The 18037 Stradivarius is the perfect all-around instrument — it delivers an amazing, character-filled sound that works seamlessly in any musical arrangement.

Building high-quality trumpets for more than a century

Back in 1918, Austrian-born trumpeter Vincent Bach began making mouthpieces. By 1924, he was employing his expertise as a musician and an engineer to craft high-quality brass instruments. Today, the Vincent Bach Corporation is headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana, and they produce a complete line of American-built student, intermediate, and professional trumpets that reflect the same level of tone and playability. Bach trumpets are handcrafted using top-shelf brass to deliver the utmost in durability and performance, with a signature sound that's preferred by professionals worldwide. The brass aficionados here at Sweetwater stand by Bach trumpets — they're world class all the way.
