Bach AC190 Stradivarius Artisan Professional C Trumpet - Silver Plated | Piano Gallery, Idaho Falls
Introduction
The Bach AC190 Stradivarius Artisan Professional C Trumpet offers exceptional tonal brilliance and projection through its masterfully crafted silver-plated design. This professional-level instrument delivers outstanding responsiveness and articulation that serious orchestral players and advanced soloists demand. With its precision-engineered components and hand-crafted elements, this trumpet represents the pinnacle of Bach's renowned craftsmanship.
Product Overview
The AC190 features a stunning silver-plated brass body that not only enhances its visual elegance but also contributes to a brighter, more brilliant tone profile. Its 1-piece hand-hammered bell with flat rim undergoes special acoustic treatment, ensuring pure, responsive sound projection across all registers with remarkable consistency. The bell's 4.82" diameter provides ideal balance between focused projection and tonal richness.
The trumpet's .462-inch large bore design delivers generous airflow while maintaining optimal resistance, allowing for powerful projection without sacrificing control. The standard-taper leadpipe offers perfect breath resistance, facilitating precise articulation and smooth transitions between registers. This thoughtful design allows players to produce their desired sound with less fatigue during extended performances.
Enhanced playability comes from the AC190's high-quality monel piston valves, known for their durability, smooth action, and rich tonal warmth. The instrument includes two sets of valve guides for added customization, plus first-valve slide split ring and third-valve tone-enhancing ring with slide pin stop for straightforward adjustability and precise intonation control across challenging passages.
