Unlike the Stradivarius model, the Mercedes did not offer a choice of bore size, bell taper, or leadpipe taper, and was built in one configuration: medium bore with a #7 leadpipe and either a 37 or 38 bell. This particular trumpet is built with a one-piece 38 bell, labeled 38K on the shop card. The one-piece, lightweight, French-bead bell is a Stradivarius-quality bell, unlike later Mercedes bells which had a two-piece construction. The 38 mandrel is slightly tighter than a 37, with a flare that more closely resembles a 43 bell. It is a fantastic all-around bell, and when combined with the medium bore size and tighter #7 pipe, it produces a lively tone with a strong core. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThis trumpet is in original condition, with the only non-original part being the 3rd valve bottom cap. The pistons are in original condition and have good compression, especially for the age of the instrument. There are a few minor repairs around the rim of the bell, visible in the wear to the lacquer. The rest of the horn appears unmodified and unrepaired. This is a very late NY horn and is from an era of Bachs known for their lightweight bells and quick response. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eIncludes original case. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morhun Trumpets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68412153364703,"sku":null,"price":1650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/5537\/0975\/files\/IMG_6537.heic?v=1794273886","url":"https:\/\/morhun.net\/products\/ny-bach-mercedes-38k-7","provider":"Morhun Trumpets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
