Products marked as 'ex-demo' are offered at a reduced price because they have been used for inspection, demonstration or marketing purposes by the manufacturer or seller. They are not factory-sealed, but are sold 'as new' and are subject to a full mechanical warranty. In some cases they may have a limited cosmetic warranty. Item-specific condition reports are always available.
The Vincent Bach 181 is an American-built long model (‘American wrap’) cornet. It produces a brighter sound in comparison to the shepherd’s crook models favoured by British-style brass bands.
Though not widely used in brass bands, the long model cornet is useful when a more penetrating cornet sound is required, for example, in jazz or Dixieland.
Available in two different bore sizes (medium-large and large), this is the silver-plate finish medium-large bore 181SML model.
