The Bach 170 series trumpet is a modern take on an original model by Vincent Bach. While the Stradivarius is well known for its iconic 1-piece trumpet bell, Bach’s original Apollo design featured a two-piece bell. This new 170 line of professional-level instruments feature the same valve block and chassis as the world-famous 180 line of trumpets. Paired with ther first ever 2-piece, 2-material bell that has been treated with the same top-secret annealing processes as our Stradivarius trumpets, the result is an instrument fit for a modern trumpet player of any style.
The 170S43GY features a two-piece 43 bell with a gold brass stem and yellow brass flare. The unique duel material construction results in a sound that offers the depth and richness associated with gold brass with the brilliance and shine of yellow brass.
It is built on an ML .459” Stradivarius valve block, and has a lightweight body with brass inner and outer slides, and brass Z braces.
The model has been modernized with a new #6-style leadpipe that offers exceptionally quick response and ease of play.
