Welcome to Ashantee Music!
Matching Exceptional Students With Quality Instruments
One of several professional trumpets we are offering for sale. This is a Bach Stradivarius 180L25 large-bore trumpet in Bb. This is not the right choice for your student's first professional horn, and it is not for the faint of heart: The large bore combined with the 25 bell gives it an open feel with a huge tone with lots of projection that will cut right through any ensemble, but is gonna take a lot of air and excellent breath support compared to a standard 37. It is in excellent condition: lacquer about 98% with just a small bit of wear mostly at the left pinky ring, and a very few, very small dings and imperfections that are so small you really have to go looking for them. It has been exceptionally well cared for. Just through the shop where it had all new tuning slide O-rings, water key cork and stop rod bumper installed, and was lubed and polished. All tuning slides are free including the third-valve dump slide. Valves appear to have very little use at all, and are fast and smooth with no issues and excellent compression. Comes in a brand new ProTec MAX case, and we have other case options (new and used, single/double/triple) and no case options if you'd prefer. The perfect instrument for solo and lead work, or any venue where you need to be heard! S/n 616XXX is far too new for the published lists, but is likely 2012 or so. Hard to find on the used market--especially this new and this nice!

We are always happy to consider reasonable offers on our auctions.
Purchases: We strive to be accurate and detailed in our descriptions. If you have any questions or concerns about a listing, please ask questions prior to bidding. Photographs are considered a binding part of an item description.
Shipping: Items are shipped after receipt and clearance of your payment. We try to ship far ahead of the handling time listed in the auction. Note that with international shipping, not all countries provide door-to-door tracking; therefore, buyer assumes full liability for item after leaving the United States.
Returns: We have zero unhappy customers, and we have offered hassle-free returns for almost twenty years. Unfortunately, due to rampant abuse of eBay's automated returns, and since PayPal no longer refunds sales fees, we have had to revise our return policy. (1) If you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact us PRIOR to initiating a return via eBay and allow us to address your concerns. Many items such as clarinets and oboes come out of adjustment during the shipping process, and can be easily tweaked by your local technician. We are happy to talk you through this process. (2) Items may be returned for any reason at your expense within seven days of receipt for a full refund of the purchase price less shipping and eBay fees, which are not refundable. If on receipt we are able to verify the item to be significantly different than described, we will additionally refund original shipping, PayPal fees, and your return shipping to maximum of $30.00.
Non-paying Bidders: We reserve the right to relist or otherwise dispose of any item if payment is not received with three days of the auction close.
