The Bach Stradivarius C180SL Chicago Professional Silver C Trumpet is modeled after the Strad C trumpets sold to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra over 50 years ago and that are still being used today. The Bach Strad Chicago C Trumpet features a yellow brass body plus a lightweight #229 bell with a classic French bead flat rim for outstanding projection and tone. The Chicago C Strad has a special mouthpipe based on Vincent Bach's original design and narrower braces for improved resonance. The Bach Stradivarius Chicago C Trumpet is available in silver finish.
