Bach Stradivarius Model 43 with extra Star Bell
Serial Number: ML 32084

This is a total find for the consummate trumpet player. Both a stardard 43 and 43 star bell is included with this auction. The serial number on the horn dates it around the mid 60s when the factory moved from MT. Vernon, NY to Elkhart, IN. The horn says Elkhart but the case says Mt. Vernon, NY. This could be because the horn was made right after or during the transfer or because this is certainly a special order configuration, especially in silver. This fabulous horn was owned by the late Charles Lowe of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and is part of his collection recently acquired by Dirt Cheep Music. The attachment bracket has been resoldered at some point, and the entire instrument has been professionaly inspected and cleaned as noted below. As a player's remark, we've been told that the valves could be "honed" in order to attain faster action, but that the compression of the valves themselves is nice and the focus and response of the instrument is wonderful. There are of course the usual light surface scratches in the lacquer that can been seen by holding the horn at the right angle in the right light, and you would expect these types of light polish scratches in any preowned instrument. Besides the small repair to the attachment bracket the horn is in amazing condition, and will arrive to you ready to play.

This Bach Stradivarius Model 43 with extra Star Bell includes the following:

Trumpet pictured, double Bach case, and additional 43-Star lightweight bell. No mouthpiece is included with this auction.

The entire instrument has been fully serviced and regulated by our Nationally Certified repairman, Mr. Whit Gardner. Mr. Gardner has nearly 30 years of experience with woodwind and brasswind repair, and our excellent feedback on eBay is largely due to his expertise and precision. Because Mr. Gardner has certified this instrument, we can offer a 100% money back guarantee if you are not satisfied.

We are selling this with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. We fully guarantee that the item will arrive as described above, but more importantly that you will LOVE IT. If by chance you decide that this is not perfect for you, simply return it to us within a few days of receipt for a full refund of your purchase price with no questions asked. Check our feedback and bid with confidence. Hooray!

Please check our feedback and proceed with confidence.

It will be packed VERY, VERY carefully and shipped via UPS to the domestic winner, FedEx to international winners for insurance purposes. International winners do not have the option of USPS because their guidelines do not allow the item to be insured for the full value. Please note that any duties, tarrifs, or taxes are the responsibility of the Buyer. We pay the shipping insurance on domestic shipments for you so you don't have to worry, and ship FAST. Please email us with any questions (or call at the number above), and happy bidding!

Shipping

We typically ship packages within 3 business days of payment clearing. We like to ship our domestic packages via UPS unless you specify otherwise, and include insurance on domestic shipments at NO COST TO YOU because we're cool like that. Dirt Cheep is cool. Anyway, international shipments are generally sent via USPS Global Priority, unless the item value exceeds USPS guidelines for insurability. In this case, we typically ship via FedEx for the best rates and safest travel

We often test equipment several times before we ship it. Please read the terms of our item-specific return policy before bidding. All of our new merchandise is covered by the manufacturer's warranty. If you have any questions regarding any item, please feel free to email us ebay@dirtcheepmusic.us

We reserve the right to cancel any bid that we feel has not been made in good faith, and we also reserve the right to relist items that are not paid for within 7 business days of the closed auction if no contact has been made by the Buyer. Because items are also for sale in our Atlanta store, we may end auctions early if an items sells to a local customer. Auction includes ONLY what is listed in the product description. If we have the manual for an item we are selling it WILL be stated in the auction, and will be provided to the winning bidder. Other items such as power cords, adapters, disks, and hardware are only included if described in the auction. We've received bad feedback unfairly for this, so one more time for clarity: if it's not listed in the auction don't expect to receive it. Easy? Yep.
