Bach 19072VU Stradivarius Bb Trumpet Overview
The Bach 19072VU Stradivarius Bb Trumpet is the successor to the classic Bach Vindabona models, designed around a large bell flare and an updated step-bore concept to deliver broad sound and flexible response. Developed with input from top Bach artists and informed by Bach Research and Development analysis of historically significant Bach instruments, the 19072VU pairs a large #72 bell with a revised #44 leadpipe in lightweight nickel silver and an updated MLV step bore to balance breadth of tone with quick articulation.

Brand new with full manufacturer’s warranty. This trumpet has been professionally serviced, set up, and play-tested to confirm proper valve function, slide alignment, and overall response. Patina has started to develop on the raw brass.
Who the 19072VU Bb Trumpet Is For
The Bach 19072VU Stradivarius Bb Trumpet is a professional Bb trumpet built to combine a large-bell sound concept with the clarity and agility of a smaller-feeling blow. Its #72 bell and updated MLV step bore are intended for players who want width, depth, and a large color palette while still retaining quick response for technical passages.
Within the Stradivarius line, the 19072VU stands out for its Vindabona-inspired concept: pairing a German rotary-trumpet-style bore and bell approach with a modern piston valve block to produce a distinctly American core and projection. The revised #44 lightweight nickel silver leadpipe helps balance the large bell, and the newly designed valve cluster is engineered for faster response and a more vibrant sound. Details such as the updated brass finger hook design (inspired by New York, Mt. Vernon, and Elkhart eras), brass 1st slide ring, standard 3rd slide stop rod, and laser-engraved bell support modern performance needs while referencing Bach’s historical design language.
Common Questions About The Bach 19072VU
What makes the Bach 19072VU different from earlier Vindabona-style Bach trumpets?
The 19072VU is designed as the successor to earlier Vindabona concepts, keeping the large #72 bell and step-bore idea but adding a revised #44 lightweight nickel silver leadpipe, an updated MLV step bore (.448 inch to .459 inch), and a newly designed valve cluster for quicker response and a more vibrant sound.
Is the Bach 19072VU suitable for professional orchestral and commercial work?
Yes. The 19072VU is a professional Bb trumpet designed to provide breadth of sound and tonal flexibility for orchestral playing while maintaining the agility and response needed for commercial, lead, and technical work.
What does “raw brass finish” mean for care and appearance?
Raw brass is an un-lacquered finish that will naturally patina and darken with handling and time. It typically requires more frequent wiping and maintenance than lacquer or silver plate if you want to slow the oxidation process. Raw brass trumpets typically produce a warmer, more resonant, and "free-blowing" sound compared to lacquered instruments. Because there is no lacquer coating to restrict the metal, the raw brass resonates more freely, providing a wider, more expansive, and darker tone that is highly responsive to the player.
