Thank you for viewing. This is a V.Bach trumpet, model 180ML/37/GP. The serial number is in the 510,000 range, indicating it was manufactured around 1999. The 37 bell is the most standard model. In my subjective opinion, this instrument produces a very rich and full tone and plays well. There are no major repair marks on the bell or body, and I believe it is in good condition. There are a few small dents (about 1-2). The plating is slightly worn in some areas due to use, but this does not affect playability. Please understand that this is an older instrument. The pistons are in good condition, and the slides move smoothly. When shipping, I will place it in a case from a different manufacturer (a Silky hard case). * I do not smoke, so please be assured. * No returns or claims are accepted, so please understand.
