Bach Commercial LT190 Stradivarius Trumpets
Also Available in Silver Plate – Click Here
Designed to meet the needs of the modern trumpet player, the new Bach Commercial LT190 trumpets are turning player’s heads! Launched in 2014, the Bach Commercial is based on the new Bach 190 platform which features the vintage style 2 piece valve casings. In the Bach Commercial models, the upper baluster is made from bronze to pair with the #1B bell on the Bach Commercial. The horn is designed for unbelievably quick response and attack, but while maintaining a richer, thicker core thanks the the added mass of the bronze alloy.
“Every Bach Commercial is completely inspected in our Bach ProShop to guarantee it’s quality. Any Bach Commercial that does not meet our standards is sent back to Bach.”
Dave Kessler

- 2 Main Tuning Slides – Both a traditional squared & rounded “D” slide are included for further customization

Bach Commercial Screening Process
Bach Commercial trumpets are made by hand. Even with the improved manufacturing techniques that Bach returned to, this inevitably will create some variance. So with every Bach Commercial that comes in our shop, Dave Kessler personally inspects every single one. He checks for structural defects, cosmetic defects and assembly defects. The vibration of the instrument to ensure that the trumpet is a responsive horn. If a Bach Commercial is assembled poorly, this results in unnecessary stress in the solder joints that actually hinder vibration and in turn, negatively affects the performance of the Bach Commercial trumpet. The most important test of the trumpet for Dave is the vibration test. If a horn doesn’t vibrate well itself (outside of even playing the horn), then it will not be a great playing trumpet.
If a Bach Commercial fails ANY of our tests is sent back to Bach, period.
