Vintage 1950s VINCENT BACH New York STRADIVARIUS TRUMPET model 31 good cond-needs TLC no reserve!Offered for auction is this genuine Vincent Bach Model 31 brass trumpet with serial number 12152 that I believe dates it to 1953. It comes with its original hard case, a mute, and two mouthpieces (one Buescher and one unmarked.) Diameter of the trumpet bell is 4-7/8," and total length of the trumpet without the mouthpiece is 19-1/4." Condition appears to be very good overall with surface patina and oxidation. There is a slight bend to one side of the bell edge, and a small dent to one tube near the valves (both shown in photos.) The valves stick when you depress them and may need oil or maybe more. I acquired this at an estate and know little about trumpets. I have not tried to play it or clean it in any way. It needs a good clean and polish or service, or maybe some restoration. I have left it as found as I'm guessing a collector would like their own technician to service it or do it themselves. It is offered as described as-is with NO RESERVE!Shipping will be via Fedex Ground. Local pick up is welcome. International buyers are responsible for all customs fees and V.A.T.s. Â I am an EXPERT packer and always pack well, and I DO NOT charge for "handling" or packing materials.
GOOD LUCK and THANKS FOR LOOKING!

All six valve caps unscrew easily.
