Re: Bach model 182

Trumpet01,
Yes, the Bach 182 is a Stradivarius, meaning it is absolutely a professional grade flugel. It accepts a standard flugelhorn mouthpiece. If it plays well and the price is right, then go for it.
I've heard very good things about these models, and also have heard some less-than-enthusiastic responses. However, if it plays well for you, get it before it's gone!!! I play an older Yamaha flugel, and absolutely love it. The 182 is a smaller bore flugel.

Best of luck, and have fun!!!
