Although this is considered an Intermediate Trumpet, it plays much more like a Bach Stradivarius than it does any of the best intermediate or student line trumpets. “The Omega was a great horn and, I think, that is why it was discontinued. It competed against their own Strad” On 2-10-2008, I repaired a Bach Stradivarius and play tested it along with this Bach Omega.  I could tell no difference between the two in how they played or in their sound. Not many Bach Strads around for $700. The Monel valve pistons, valve section, and all the slides are actually Stradivarius parts and are available from the Conn-Selmer parts department. The only difference is a heavier two-piece bell assembly which holds up well for high school band practice sessions. Most students practice more and sound much better with this stradivarius-type tone and intonation. It has been: ultrasonic cleaned,  the valves have been gone over and accurately aligned (valve ports to casing ports) with new valve springs, bumpers and pads selected for correct valve operation.  Beautifully engraved bell and silver finish is in  good used condition.

Bore size is ML (.459) Same as a model 37 Bach Stradivarius. 4-3/4″ Bell based on Bach Stradivarius #37 design.  #25 bach Stradivarius lead pipe.  Monel metal pistons with two-point nylon valve guides and enclosed barrel shaped bronze valve springs. It has crisp fast valve action.

One-piece Stradivarius-style valve casing.  This is a great step-up trumpet for the advanced student at a lot less money than a Bach Stradivarius.
