The C190SL229F is modeled on Bach's New York-era C trumpets, built from about 1925 to 1953, with their narrow wrap and standard weight #229 bell with a French bead. It responds quickly like those New York horns, while producing the broader sound of Bach's Elkhart-era instruments. The redesigned #25C leadpipe gives fast response and secure slotting, and the bell adds warmth and depth.
Compared to its sibling, the C190SL229C, it has a slightly broader and warmer tone. The C190 series is made in Elkhart, Indiana, and includes five C trumpets with distinct build styles, developed with Bach artists including Esteban Batallán (Principal Trumpet, Chicago Symphony Orchestra), Michael Sachs (Principal Trumpet, The Cleveland Orchestra), and soloist Tine Thing Helseth.
What the model number means
- C means the trumpet is pitched in C.
- 190 is Bach's premium Stradivarius series, with a two-piece valve casing.
- S means silver plated.
- L is the .462" large bore, the most popular bore for Bach C trumpets.
- 229 is the bell, a little broader than Bach's standard #239.
