Full Description
View Full DescriptionQuality American construction
All Bach Stradivarius instruments are handmade in America by highly skilled craftspeople and artisans. The 183 flugel horn is constructed from high-quality yellow brass which is the most popular material for horns. This is because yellow brass produced a very versatile tone that can be performed in a variety of different musical environments. Once the 183 has been constructed, it is finished in a bright clear lacquer to keep the instrument looking newer for longer.
The 183 features a third slide trigger to ensure precise tuning can be achieved in extreme registers. The valves in the horn are crafted from monel which is a nickel and copper alloy. Monel valves are found in all Stradivarius flugel horns as they smooth, resistant to corrosion, and hardwearing.
Included accessories
The Stradivarius 183 includes a Bach 7C Mouthpiece, which is one of the best selling mouthpieces on the market. It offers an all-round sound which is suitable for both the high and low register, while also providing a great tone suitable for all players. As well as this, a hard moulded Bach Case is included. The case is made from a wood shell and padded securely inside to protect the horn. All the corners of the case are reinforced to provide extra protection. On top of all this, valve oil and slide grease are included to keep maintaining the instrument a very easy task.
The Stradivarius series
The Stradivarius series of instruments are the premium symphonic models originally designed and manufactured by Vincent Bach in the early 1920s. By only using the best quality materials and combining them with proprietary manufacturing methods, the name Vincent Bach soon became synonymous with superior instruments. The name "Stradivarius" originates from the first trumpets made by Vincent Bach himself. Musicians would refer to his original trumpets as having a "Stradivarius", referring to the world-famous string instruments. It was this which later inspired the name of the series - Stradivarius.
