Greetings everyone and thank you for viewing. I'm pleased to offer for you this very well cared for early Elkhart Bach 25 large bore model Bb trumpet. After spending some time with this horn I can attest it is of exceptional build quality and outstanding performance. If you have been specifically looking for a Bach 25, this is the one. I especially enjoy that this particular horn was made with the trigger option, as it is more comfortable to use and keeps the player connected to the chassis of the horn while in use.
Only visible repair that I can spot is that there was a slight roll of the bell - no more than 1/2" from the top and 1/4" from the bottom. Whoever repaired the horn did a masterful job and the bell rings like the day it was born!
Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to finding this horn a happy home!
