Bb Bach Stradivarius
Models
Finish 1 - Highly polished brass bell with nickel silver trimming. $125.00
Finish 1 1/2 - Highly polished brass, entire instrument lacquered and baked.

Transparent lacquer should be given preference because a heavier coat can be applied with discoloring the instrument.  We use the best material and the finish is applied in the best possible manner, but no guarantee can be given.  Lacquer is not a permanent finish as the following statement by the "national Association of Band Instrument Manufacturers will indicate: "Lacquer is only a temporary finish and should be sold as such."

130.00
Finish 2 - Heavily silver plated, velvet finish, inside of bell burnished. 135.00
Finish 2 1/2 - Heavily silver plated, velvet finish, inside of bell gold plated and burnished. 140.00

Finish 5 1/2 - De Luxe finish, quadruple gold plated on silver base, elaborate engraving inside and outside of bell, burnished all over, engraving in stain gold.  The most ravishing masterpiece in the art of musical instrument making. 250.00
   

The cost of lacquering used instruments is higher because the instrument must first be thoroughly cleaned, overhauled, and all dents and scratches removed.  Even the slightest finger mark would cause the lacquer to peel.  The instrument being free of dents, lacquering costs approximately $7.50 including cleaning and polishing.  All other repairs are charged for in addition and are subject to our regular rates based on the actual working-time necessary to perform first class job.

Extras

If an extra tuning slide with a nickel silver quick-change-to-A rotary valve is desired, the price is $15.00 additional in brass finish, $18.00 silver plated, $25.00 gold plated.
