HEy Everyone! I am looking at purchasing a Bach Stradavarius through Ebay and would like to know what advanteges (and disadvantages) the differnt models have. Thanks!

From what I know, the Bach 180S-37 is known as the best all-around Bb trumpet they offer. The "S" disingates silver plating finish, and the 37 is the type/size of bell. If you feel you`ve gotta have the Bach brand name, buy the Bach, but you can get essentially the same horn, but with Amado, push-button water keys (which I like better than the standard lever-type), in a Blessing ML-1S, which sells for less than half the price of the Bach 180S-37.

if you play jazz get a Getzen. bach is okay but you can`t trust a bach horn on ebay because you have to try out a bach trumpet seeing as how each bach trumpet is made differently than the one before it.
