1974 BACH Stradivarius ML Model 37, Silver, w/ original case & mouthpiece
Serial Number: 84122

Made while Vincent Bach was still alive, this 1974 Stradivarius Model 37 is a wonderful example of the quality from Elkhart that propelled the Bach name into every bandroom across America.

The Model 37 is the most commonly requested model, since it gives a rich and compact sound with great projection. If you've read this far, you know that a 70's Bach is a far cry from the clattering valves and marginal construction of the new horns. We have carefully photographed this horn from every angle to show the quality that you will see from the moment you open the case.

As you can see from our classy pictures, this BACH Stradivarius 37 is in wonderful condition. There are no significant scratches or blems that need disclosed, and of course no structural defects of any kind. There is a small spot on the 1st value casing by the serial number, which we have circled in yellow. Also, there is a small ding on the bell above the Stradivarius logo, which we have also circled for your convenience. The case is original, and all latches, hinges, and handle are secure. We guarantee that this will arrive to you with at least one fingerprint on it, because real live humans will pack it carefully using their hands. Go figure. We rate this horn overall as a "A" item.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, this Bach Stradivarius is 100% guaranteed. It has been fully inspected and serviced by our Nationall Certified Technician, Mr. Whit Gardner. Mr. Gardner's certification and 30 years of expertise have contributed in a large part to our excellent feedback on eBay brass and woodwinds, and because of this, we absolutely guarantee that you will LOVE this trumpet. Please play the horn for a few days once you receive it, and if you're not delighted, return it to us for a full refund of your purchase price with no questions asked. You cannot beat that type of return policy, and we are that confident that you will be impressed from the moment you open the case. Check our feedback and bid with confidence. Hooray.
