The Bach TR500 Bb Trumpet is a time-tested favorite among beginning and intermediate musicians, known for its durable build, smooth valve action, and warm, projecting tone. This particular horn is a USED instrument that has been professionally cleaned, adjusted, and play-tested by our brass technicians here at Spotts Music Center in DuBois, PA. It’s 100% ready to play—perfect for school band, lessons, or as a reliable backup horn.
Features & Advantages

- Rose-brass leadpipe: Adds warmth to the tone while resisting internal corrosion caused by moisture.
- Monel alloy pistons: Long-lasting, corrosion-resistant valves that ensure smooth and consistent action over time.
- Adjustable 3rd-valve slide ring: Allows fine tuning on lower notes and teaches students proper slide technique early on.

Why It Stands Out
The TR500 represents Bach’s dedication to building student instruments that share DNA with their professional line.
