Hey there everyone, I just bought myself a new trumpet. Well, it isn't new, but it's new to me. I bought it to replace my main horn, an aging Selmer Paris Radial. I bought a 1985-1990 Bach Stradivarius 72L (large bore, I believe). Here are the pictures (after I gave it a serious scrub-down). Don't worry, I already know about the dent in the bell.







It plays great, so I was wondering if anyone has had some good experiences with these Bachs. This is actually the first Bach horn I've ever owned.

That's a nice looking horn!

My two main axes are a standard ol' Strad 37 in silverplate, and a Strad 229 C. No other horns I've played have "clicked" as well with me...

There are a few people around the traps that don't like Bach Strads, but it's a matter of preference and player-horn compatibility, really.

I have a friend who recently bought a Strad 72, after having played on a Kanstul pro model for 5 years and instantly fell in love. Looks like a good purchase you've made there!

It's a good purchase if it fits the sound you want and plays the way you want it to play. Therefore, if your happy with it that is all that matters.

Congrats on the new horn!

A friend has a very similar horn (72 Strad with Large Bore) and it's a great blowing horn.

Good luck...
