I own a 1978 Bach Stradivarius Bb trumpet and it was all original. After a year or two of use it began to clank and make noise of metal hitting other metal. It wasn't pleasant! So i bought the maintenance kit and it plays so much better now, and i don't have to worry about the embarrassing noises coming from my horn at auditions, I would suggest to any serious player with an older or used horn!

I have a 1976 Vincent Bach Mercedes, Silver Plated. These parts were a perfect match without exception. The polishing cloths are a real bonus, I didn't expect one of each, as I also have a lacquer finished Mercedes, they both will be used. Was having problems with a weak spring and the replacements took care of the slow valve response I was having.A perfect overhaul. Thanks for selling such a useful kit at a reasonable price.Fred

This is a must have for anyone with a vintage Bach horn. I was very impressed with what comes in the kit. It exceeded my expectations for the price.

This is the best repair kit ever for a Bach Stradivarius. All of the parts are useful. Even if you get just because you need one of the parts, it is still worth it to have around. You never know when something will get lost, loose, or damaged. So far, all I have used is the polish cloth, but it is reassuring to know I have the parts if something goes wrong.

A very great deal. I would have not expected all of these items in this bag. I lose things for my Bach Strad s37 all the time and I get a lot of use out of this. Buy Bach. The best company ever.
