Description

The fully redesigned C190SL229 is the result of extensive testing with Michael Sachs, Principal Trumpet of The Cleveland Orchestra, to create a spectacular trumpet with a rich core that will fill even the largest concert halls. This unique combination of specifications has never before been used on a Bach instrument, offering superior range, quick response, and that classic ‘Elkhart Bach’ C trumpet sound.

Features

The fully redesigned C190SL229 is one of five models in the Bach C190 Series, built to meet the technical demands of today’s players while delivering Bach’s signature rich, resonant tone.

The C190SL229 features a wide wrap, wide Z brace construction, and a standard weight #229 bell. It produces the broadest, warmest, and fullest orchestral sound in the Bach C trumpet portfolio, and is for players seeking a broad dynamic range, exceptional response, and the unmistakable classic “Elkhart Bach” C trumpet sound.

Playing Characteristics

Engineered for the discerning player, the C190SL229 offers exceptional tonal color, projection, and response. Its large bore supports a broad, expansive sound with commanding presence, while the #229 bell taper produces a tighter, brighter tone that cuts effectively through orchestral textures. The newly designed #25M leadpipe ensures reliable intonation and precise note slotting, enhancing overall playability. Players will also appreciate the trumpet’s resonance and rich overtones, delivering a character-filled sound with impressive projection and expressive nuance.
