Bach Stradivarius fanfare trumpet, SN 61XXX which dates it to 1971-1972 according to online sources. This is THE best fanfare trumpet I've ever played, and as an ex-Disney fanfare trumpeter, I've spent far too much time playing them! It has a Reeves alignment, and is in overall very good condition.
The valves are excellent, typical quality vintage Bach valves, and they have excellent compression. All slides work, lacquer is not perfect but it is very good. The bell has had banner hooks added at some point, and the lacquer was touched up around them. Flaws? It has one dent on the inside of the bell bow that I just noticed, and the skinny end of the removeable bell shows signs of having had dents removed. Overall very good appearance and an excellent playing horn. Original case is included, and is in good shape.
