Product Description

The most popular of all Bach trumpets for good all-around playing. Features standard weight body and bell. Silver with .459ML Bore and 37 Bell. One piece bell hand-hammered, superior tone and response Monel valves, corrosion proof and long lasting Standard weight body and bell Nickel outer slides provide additional strength One-Piece BellBach Stradivarius trumpets are famous for their fullness of sound and projection. This is achieved by the use of one-piece construction, allowing for unrestricted vibration of the bell. The shape of the tapered surface, or rate of bell flare, determines the characteristic sound of the instrument. Bells with fast tapers produce dark, warm sounds, while slow tapers yield bright tones. Bach offers many bell options. The number designation on a Bach bell refers to the mandrel (tooling used to shape the flare) number, not to any diameter or measurement (for example, all Bb trumpet bells have the same diameter). Monel Pistons and ValvesThe use of non-corrosive Monel metal for pistons was pioneered by Vincent Bach. Carefully aligned ports, enclosed bronze springs, and hand-lapped fit assure years of light, troublefree action. Nylon guides eliminate valve noise. Includes: Hard Shell Case, Mouthpiece, Valve Oil.


  • In concert halls around the world, professional trumpet players will be found playing the Bach Stradivarius 180S37 Silver-Plated Trumpet.
  • The depth and color of sound, coupled with the even intonation and response, make the 180S37 a top choice.

I am a professional trumpet player, collegiate and public school teacher. Although the price has gone up significantly since I purchased mine, this is one of the best professional Bb trumpets on the market. This line of trumpet is used in almost every professional musical outlet in the world from the US Marine Band to the NY Philharmonic. If you are looking for THE trumpet to buy and have until you die, this would be THE horn to purchase. With that said, it is always better to try out the instrument at a music store first. This way you can form your own opinion on that instrument. Since thousands of trumpets are manufactured yearly through the Selmer [Bach] Corporation, you are bound to get better horns than others. Plan on spending a couple of hours at the music store trying horns out. When I was a TA at Penn State University, the marching band purchased 50 new Bach 37's in silver. Out of 50, I would have loved 30 of them myself while the other 20 were still quite good but... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Tony plays the trumpet, October 18, 2008
This review is from: Bach 180S37 Stradivarius Bb Trumpet
This review comes from the mouth of the trumpet player. It was a christmas gift in 2007 and what a surprise that was. He said it is a far cry from his student trumpet he learned on. He started playing in the 4th grade at his school and is still playing in his jinior year in high school. The sound is 100%, clear etc. He also plays in the Jazz band in high school. Other instruments he plays are the Tuba, and barratone horn.
