My name is Kenneth Ritchie and this is my Medium Large Bore Hand made Vincent Bach Stradivarious B flat Trumpet. It has a 1st valve trigger tuning slide.

　　     My Father acquired it from my band director Mr. Stanley Hindmarch (Union Scioto School District director of bands from 1) as my Christmas present in 1966 my 6th grade year. Mr. Hindmarch bought it before beginning his education as a Trumpet Major at The Ohio State University where he eventually sat 1st chair in the Ohio State Marching Band.

　　     According to lists I have referenced this trumpet was built in  1953 (the year I was born). These trumpets were still being hand made in Mt. Vernon New York. I had it replated with a Conn nickle plated finish which darkens the tone a bit making it especially nice for solo and jazz and church work.

　　     I just turned 70 and have not played it for several years, thus I am considering selling it.  The serial number is ML117775 if you would like to research it.On Feb-06-24 at 01:09:49 PST, seller added the following information:     My name is Kenneth Ritchie and this is my Medium Large Bore Hand made Vincent Bach Stradivarious B flat Trumpet.
