I have never sold a musical instrument before, so pricing and determining who to trust with my horn, is a real challenge. All the ones before used those Import valve bodies. It is one of the first hand full of Mercury trumpets that came out of the factory in April of using bachs own material. Beautiful horns! I am selling my NY Strad serial I have copy of original Factory Card, 86 years old now. Primarily used for Latin Jazz lead and solo Jazz performance.
We decided to combine into a single timeline reference to better understand the instrument serial numbers vs. There are multiple sources for the Vincent Bach trumpet on the internet today.
