Bach Stradivarius 180S37 Overview
The Bach Stradivarius 180S37 is a professional B-flat trumpet and one of the most widely played professional trumpets in the world. For decades it has served as a default benchmark for orchestral, ensemble, and serious student players, to the point that many other instruments are described by how they compare to it. The Stradivarius name is a tribute to violin maker Antonio Stradivari and reflects the line's reputation for refined, centered tone.
The 180S37 pairs a .459-inch medium-large bore with a one-piece hand-hammered #37 yellow brass bell, a #25 leadpipe, and Monel valve pistons, a combination known for a balanced response that works across a wide range of musical settings. The model is built by Vincent Bach, the brand founded by trumpeter and engineer Vincent Bach and now produced under Conn-Selmer, which continues to make the Stradivarius line in the United States.
