Vincent Bach

VBS196

Similar to the Schilke P5-4. This is a new model piccolo trumpet from Bach.  It's not labeled a Stradivarious, since it's not made actually by them in house.  In fact, this piccolo is made from custom Stomvi parts at Cambrass in Valencia, California, just up the road from us.  Cambrass then sends it next door to Bob Reeves' custom brass shop for a valve alignment.  It's beautifully silver plated, includes gig bag, several leadpipes and set of A crooks.  Also, the fourth valve is tunable to either a whole step or a perfect fourth.  This is the best piccolo ever offered by Bach in our experience.  Uses trumpet shank mouthpiece.

This tiny rotary trumpet is German-made, and has five finger keys: four for the rotors, and one for a third slide trigger, operated by the left hand.  Made of all gold brass and nickel trim, this is a stunning instrument.  If you have an inkling for a rotary piccolo, don't think you also need a piston version.  This one can do everything well, and it has a hot vibrant sound that projects without pushing, or without extra effort.  Includes four leadpipes, uses trumpet shank mouthpiece.

NEW

3117/JH

 

This is an incredible Eb trumpet.  Notice it's Eb/E, not Eb/D.  Cool.  Similar to the Schilke E4-L. It has this huge sound that's so big, it sounds like a C trumpet.  It has adjustable bell tuning, and no tuning slide at the leadpipe for a superior perfectly tapered pipe into the valves.  The four piston valves make the low notes available and in tune, and the E side, which includes a second bell and set of crooks, makes it versatile for the occasional solo in the odd key.  This reminds us of the Wallace/Voigt Eb, except this one has the sleeker no-tuning leadpipe.  If you need an Eb for the effortless high range but want a big sound like a C, this is the trumpet.  Includes body, both bells, 2 sets of slides, and hardcase with zipper closure.  Silver plate.

Eb contra alto trumpet

 

Low Eb rotary valve contra alto trumpet, handmade in the Czech Republic, yellow brass construction, nickel trim, comes with hard case and Lidl trumpet mouthpiece. Bell has nickel silver rim garland. Though designed for a trumpet sized mouthpiece, this horn has a  tenor trombone shank mouthpiece receiver and works well with 11C sized pieces and smaller. It does include a trumpet sized mouthpiece with a slightly larger shank.  Plays very well and even in the registers and is a blast to play. A very rare instrument, occasionally used in the orchestra.
