Hello all. I thought I would start an interesting thread. If you own a great playing strad, fell free to share the first couple digits of the serial # so we may get an idea of the era of when the horn was produced. This may give a more definitive idea of when Bach horns were more consistent. Likewise, you may give one that was a terrible strad. I'm not sure if it is legal or not to give the whole serial number, so please refrain from that. After a lot of posts I will do my best to compile the results. This isn't limited to Bb trumpets .. C's, D's are welcome and also cornets.
Great Strads I own:
Bb - 284xxx
Bb - 47xxx
Bb - 86xxx
C - 404xxx
Great Strads I used to own:
Bb - 303xxx
Cornet - 300xxx
Horrible Strad (Worst)
Bb - 455xxx
I have owned somewhere between 40-50 Strads and these were the stand outs at the upper and lower end.
I hope this proves to be a productive thread.

- I totally agree with you. I played a Bach Stradivarius #37 for 15 years 1991-2006, and it's the best horn i have ever played! I recently purchase another one used in mint condition 2 weeks ago, because I wasn't totally satisfied with my Holton MF and Getzen Eterna. And now the tonal quality and resonance I'm getting from my Stradivarius can't.
