Pinnacle of Performance -  Handcrafted Construction with Mt Vernon Flair

The newest addition to the Bach 190 Series, the 190S37, pays homage to the revered Mt. Vernon era with a construction that blends vintage craftsmanship and modern precision. Its one-piece, side-seam #37 bell features a Mt. Vernon weight and a round steel wire bell bead, delivering the warmth and tonal presence that defined the iconic Bach sound. The trumpet is built on a medium-large .459" bore two-piece valve chassis, with nickel balusters, outer slides, and caps for durability and visual elegance. Enhancing this classic design are wide wrap nickel Z braces inspired by New York-era horns, a redesigned #25 leadpipe with improved construction, and a new nickel finger hook—handcrafted to deliver consistency, resonance, and superior build quality.

Playing Characteristics

The newest iteration of the 190S37 offers a remarkably even sound, fast response, and focused tone across the full dynamic spectrum. The Mt. Vernon-style #37 bell pairs seamlessly with the updated #25 leadpipe, creating a broad, brilliant sound that remains agile and vibrant at all volumes. The redesigned valve cluster, the result of extensive research into Bach’s most iconic instruments, contributes to a quicker, more efficient response and enhanced tonal clarity. Whether playing orchestral repertoire, solo literature, or chamber music, the 19037 provides exceptional control, excellent intonation, and the hallmark richness that has made Bach trumpets a standard for professionals for generations.
