The C180SL239 is Bach's classic orchestral C trumpet. The #239 bell gives you a rich, big, dark sound with great projection, and the #25C leadpipe offers a little resistance that helps center the tone. Paired with the .462" large bore, it produces a well-rounded sound that suits the full orchestral repertoire. This is the silver-plated version of the Bach C180L239.
What the model number means
- C means the trumpet is pitched in C.
- 180 is Bach's standard Stradivarius series.
- S means silver plated instead of clear lacquer.
- L is the .462" large bore, the most popular bore for Bach C trumpets.
