"sound and response even from bottom to top"

I bought this trumpet right before Thanksgiving weekend and played it on a number of concerts during the holidays when I needed a Bb. It has a thick, dense sound with ample overtones, responds quickly in all registers, and has great carrying power. It is, for my tastes and needs, the best Bb I have ever owned or played in the last 25 years. Pitch is excellent, attacks pop out, and the sound has gotten me many nice comments from colleagues and audience members. It does blow tighter than my 43 bell but after two or three days, I was adjusted to it.I am still having a small problem getting the first valve slide to consistently move freely. Micrometer measurements show a 10/1000th" difference between the gaps on the horn and the slide. If I don't get it working to my satisfaction, I will return it for factory repair. BUT, I love the way this horn plays and sounds, and my wife is glad I am not playing that old "ugly" trumpet any more. Definitely a horn to consider.

I got my Bach New York two weeks ago. After a short time adapting to this horn I can really tell you THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST TRUMPET I'VE EVER PLAYED ON!! Amazing sound, superb response, easy high register, powerful low register. I don't find the words to describe how well this trumpet performs. If you are playing in a Big Band you will get back very much of your sound. That's the reason why it is so easy to play. I've played a lot of different Bach trumpets but I can assure you, this one is the best I've ever played on!!

This trumpet has the most beautiful sound I've ever heard! Good with lip slurs, high range notes are in good tune, and each note can be hit with the best precision! BUY IT!

It is free blowing with an increasing resistance as you go higher. The sound and response is wonderful. Two complaints.ONE This professional horn should be offered in all Silver. I hate the two tone effect. TWO. Most egregious, the first valve slide ring has not been rounded on the inside and is sharp and cuts into my thumb. I will be talking to the factory about this.Other than that, a truly superb instrument. For me, this is a player not a collectors item.
