Vincent Bach AP190 piccolo trumpet (lacquer)

The ‘190’ Artisan generation of Bach Stradivarius trumpets was introduced in 2010. They are characterised by a vintage two-piece valve casing design, contrasting with the one-piece casings used on Bach instruments since the late 1970s.

The Artisan piccolo is provided with a set of four mouthpipes. The two-piece nickel/brass valve construction, thicker radius ferrules, sculpted bracing and bell engraving contribute to its feel and elegant appearance. The option of brass or plastic valve guides offers the player a choice of response.
