Nice! I have a large bore 184G from the early 1990s and really enjoy playing it.

A 184G large bore is pretty cool. I had been looking for a 184 at the right price for a couple years.

Well, we both have a 43 Strad and an Olds L-12, so why not get a Bach 184?…lol

Years ago, I needed a good cornet for the brass band I had recently joined. I wanted a large bore 184 with the gold brass bell and the fancy Bach engraving, but the local dealers wouldn’t order a new one for me. I eventually found a used one, sans engraving, and bought it. Later on, I had Sherry Huntley lay that engraving on it and I’ve been a happy camper ever since.

Great minds think alike.

Good choice. What do you plan on using it for?

Thanks. About 95% of my trumpet playing is in a jazz trio. So I'll likely use it on certain gigs in that setting.
