Bach 12 New York 1940's Vintage

Bach 12 Stradivarius Model, New York Vintage Mid-Late 1940's Vintage. This is the earliest model 12 that we know of in existence today. Quite an interesting .500 bore jazz horn.  This has the 7" Bell and standard weight handslide, with nickel oversleeve on the top outer tube but not bottom tube.  Lacquer appears to be original.  Slide tubes also appear to be original.  Has had full shop service including chemical bath and full slide set-up.  Plays just like the large 7.5" Bach 12 but a little more compact.  Would make an outstanding lead horn or small bore jazz for a soloist, ideal for big band and trad jazz.  No service needs to improve playability.  Includes Vintage Bach case in excellent condition.
