Vincent Bach combined his unique talents as both a musician and an engineer to create brass instruments of unequalled tonal quality. Often copied but never duplicated, Bach Stradivarius instruments today remain the sound choice of artists worldwide.

The Bach C180 series trumpets are the number one selling professional orchestral trumpets in the world. The C180SL239 features a #239 one-piece hand-hammered professional bell that produces a big, rich, warm sound with great projection. The #25C leadpipe offers slight resistance that is effective in centering tone production. The clear lacquer finish provides a subtle warmth to the overall sound. These features combined with a .462 large bore allow the player to produce a well-rounded sound well suited for all orchestral literature.
