The Bach Strad 43 (180ML) is one of the best selling professional model Trumpets of all time. This particular pre-owned example is a great sounding example with a very clean lacquer finish. It's an ideal upgrade or pro option for the advanced Trumpet player. Like all our pre-owned Trumpets this Bach Strad has been fully checked and set-up in our workshop prior to sale.
The Strad 43L (lacquer finish) is an extremely versatile professional model. The ML (medium large) .459" bore and the 43 bell shaping make for an instrument that is equally at home in a jazz band or orchestral situation. The specifications are one element, but what you're also paying for is the many years of experience from the craftsmen in the USA that hand-finish these instruments. From the hand-hammered bell to the perfectly honed valve action.
In summary, if you're looking to upgrade to a Bach Strad, or indeed any pro Trumpet, then this 43L is a great option. The number 43 in the model refers to the mandrel which shapes the taper of the bell. The 43 offers a little bit more brightness and punch than the 37 version. This is a long-lasting instrument which is extremely versatile.
