The Bach Stradivarius 72 Bb Trumpet was designed for players seeking a lively trumpet with a brighter sound and quicker response. The lightweight body and bell in #72 taper and the #25 standard leadpipe add to the centered sound and brilliant tone of this model of Bach Strad. Specifically, the #72 tapered bell creates a strong, powerful, and darker sound than the same trumpet with a standard #37 taper. This trumpet will rise above the sound of any ensemble.
