Gendreauj Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Won a bid on a refurbished Bach 700 trumpet. Received it today. There are no markings to indicate Bach 700. What would you suggest? Thanks, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BachLoyalist Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 The TR700 series is an intermediate level Bach trumpet, mfg. overseas (not in the USA). The marking should be on the mouthpipe/leadpipe end where the mouthpiece goes. Let us know how it plays... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gendreauj Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 This is a refurbished trumpet. Best shape of any trumpet I have owed. Concerned there is no marking anywhere on the trumpet. New bell, no markings. Plays very well. Likely will return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpetForum Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 If there is no marking on the trumpet, how did they list it as a Bach? or a Bach 700? Any markings on the bell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gendreauj Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 The trumpet was damaged and the tech rebuilt it. He wrote me it was a Bach 700. There is no marking on the lead pipe, valve block or bell. Not the first trumpet I have owed with a replacement bell. But there was a model number s on previous rebuilt trumpets. When I buy a trumpet, always think of resale value. Would you buy a trumpet without any markings? I am returning the trumpet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
