New York Bach Stradivarius C Trumpet - Totally Restored by Robb Stewart
Serial # 155
This trumpet has been a part of our personal collection we have had for a number of years. Of the thousands of trumpets that have passed through our shop over the years, we have kept only a handful of either exceptionally rare or supremely in fantastic vintage shape.
The photos below describe the trumpet for sale in this listing. Being a 3-digit Bach, you know that there will never be another one just like this one. And, over time, the number of 3-digit Bachs is decreasing as age takes its toll on them and collectors horde them - better than gold, some say! We purchased this and sent it off to Robb Stewart, the master restoration genius who is uniquely qualified to work on early Bachs. Mr. Roy Hempley, the Bach historian, recommended Mr. Stewart and assisted him in this restoration.
After spending a few thousand dollars in restoration fees, we received back what you see in the photos on the upper portion below. He restored this one, another C one serial number from this one and other very early Bachs. He maintains a file of information which helped him restore this one to as close to original as possible. The horn plays great according to Mr. Stewart.
