Response and Projection - The Bach New York Design Reimagined
The Bach 170 series trumpet is a modern take on an original model by Vincent Bach. While the Stradivarius is well known for its iconic 1-piece trumpet bell, Bach’s original Apollo design from New York featured a two-piece bell. Their new 170 line of professional-level instruments feature the same valve block and chassis as the world-famous 180 line of trumpets. Paired with their first ever 2-piece, 2-material bell that has been treated with the same top-secret annealing processes as Bach's Stradivarius trumpets, the result is an instrument fit for a modern trumpet player of any style.
Features
The 17043GYR features a two-piece 43 bell with a gold brass stem and yellow brass flare. The unique combination of materials results in a sound that offers the depth and richness associated with gold brass with the brilliance and shine of yellow brass. It is built on an ML .459” one-piece brass valve chassis, the same as the Bach Stradivarius 180 line, and has a lightweight body with brass inner and outer slides, and brass Z braces. The model has been modernized with a new 6-style reversed leadpipe - the quickest responding leadpipe Bach makes for optimal agility and ease of play. Anew finger hook design inspired by New York, Mt. Vernon, and Elkhart eras, and updated Apollo bell engraving, provide excellent visual appeal.
