[Features]
A popular staple model in Bach trumpets, the 180 Series 37 bell. This instrument is a "pre-vintage" piece from 1976, a transitional period when the casing shifted from two-piece to one-piece construction. Unlike the "mellowed richness" occasionally found in instruments of this age, its charm lies in the well-preserved bright and resonant sound characteristic of the 37 bell.It responds well right from the start, offering a perfectly balanced blend of moderate resistance and lightness – truly a quintessential Bach instrument. It delivers consistent tone across the entire range, making it versatile for classical, wind ensemble, jazz, and pop music. Even today, it remains fully serviceable and active, offering a timeless Stradivarius-like quality.
