Vincent
Bach Chicago C Trumpet
"In April
of 1955, Vincent Bach completed and delivered six C trumpets
to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Four were selected by individual
members of the trumpet section and purchased by the Orchestra.
The remaining two were sold to a music store for individual
customers. Now, almost fifty years later, these trumpets are
still revered, still in use, and still the property of the
Chicago Symphony. Each instrument is assigned to a specific
section member. Today, however, other trumpet players are
in for a treat, as Conn-Selmer has introduced the 'new' Bach
Stradivarius "Chicago" C trumpet, an instrument closely based
on these original designs. The model (specifically model C180SL229CC)
features a #229 bell and a #25 leadpipe, but this instrument
design is faithful to the original blueprints in many other
details, as well. Based on Vincent Bach's 1955 "C" trumpet
designs, this new instrument features: - Large-bore (.462"")
for the power needed in an orchestral section - #229 lightweight
yellow brass one-piece hand-hammered bell with classic French
bead flat rim - Flat brass rim wire soldered in bell - Special
#25 leadpipe based on 1947 design - Widefoot bell to leadpipe
braces - Narrower braces at bell to valve casing and valve
casing to leadpipe - Thumb ring on first valve - Narrow tuning
slide....1947 design - Single brace on tuning slide - Bead
rings on all slides - Hexagon shaped pull knobs - Special
Edition double trumpet case - Available in silver plate only"
