This Bach 180S37 Stradivarius Bb trumpet (SN 765133) was a barely-played, like-new professional instrument that came to us in exceptional condition.
It had excellent valve compression, smooth slide action, and required no repairs beyond a basic check-over.
The 180S37 remains Bach’s flagship professional model, featuring a medium-large (.459") bore and silver-plated finish known for its clear, centered tone that works for jazz, symphonic, concert band, and solo performance.
This particular horn was sold as a complete package that included:
Mouthpieces: Bach 5C, Bach 7C, Monette Tradition Plus 6, Schilke 13, Yamaha 14F4
Accessories: Jo-Ral Copper Harmon Mute, Leather Valve Wrap, Slide & Valve Lubricants

FAQ – For Owners & Sellers
How do I determine the value of my used Bach Stradivarius trumpet?
Condition, originality, valve compression, and market demand drive value. Original silver plate or lacquer in good shape plus strong valve compression generally means higher resale. We also reference our 15+ years of sales data to provide realistic value ranges.
Is it better to sell privately or through a specialty brass shop?
Some players try Facebook Marketplace or auction platforms, but results vary and fees can be high. A specialist shop like The Brass Exchange connects you directly with serious buyers of professional-grade instruments, often making the process faster and easier.
What’s the easiest way to sell or consign a professional trumpet?
We offer trade-in, purchase, and consignment services with transparent, competitive fees. We handle inspection, photos, marketing, buyer communication, and shipping—making it simple for sellers who want a safe, efficient transaction.
Does cosmetic wear affect resale value?
Not necessarily. Collectors and players focus more on mechanical condition and originality (valve compression, slide fit, lack of major repairs). Light finish wear usually has minimal effect on value.
