The Bach C180 series trumpets are the world's best-selling professional orchestral trumpets. The C180SL229CC “Chicago” C Trumpet features a 0.462" bore, a custom 25C leadpipe based on Vincent Bach's original design, and a lightweight, one-piece, hand-hammered #229 professional bell with a classic French flat rim that provides fast response with excellent projection and tone.

The thumb ring on the 1st valve allows for easier tuning adjustment. Narrower bell-valve body and valve body-leadpipe braces improve resonance. The silver-plated surface gives the overall sound a controlled brilliance. The Chicago C trumpet is the perfect choice if you want the sound to immediately reach the back rows of the hall.

Worth knowing

Vincent Bach combined the skills of an accomplished musician and gifted engineer like no other.
This was the only way he was able to create brass instruments with such incomparable sound quality.

The instruments in the BACH STRADIVARIUS series maintain this excellence to this day. Attempts to copy their class have never been successful. They are still the first choice for well-known artists worldwide.
