- [links in description] We had a customer request for a showdown between the new Adams A1v2 and a Bach Stradivarius. I decided to go with my favorite Bach in the shop right now, an Anniversary Model 43 in raw brass. There are some similarities between the two horns so it should be an interesting comparison!
Both are great professional trumpets, medium large bore, similar weight, both very well balanced.

The Adams has the ovate tuning slide and bell bow, but the bell profiles are pretty similar (slightly tighter flare on the Adams).
The Anniversary model Bach Strads are really fantastic trumpets, so both of these are good contestants for a player looking for a great pro horn.
Be sure to put what YOU hear in the comments, how do these two horns compare for you?

The Bach seems to have a deeper core and more centered
Man, I've been eyeing both of these horns and this video didn't help BECAUSE THEY BOTH SOUND GREAT!!!! I'm going to have to A/B them by playing them. Thanks for making these videos, Trent!
you tryin to get rid of that X13, Chris? ;)
Right on!
@@CaptainJazz262 No, not at all! But, I do want to add some tools to the box.
Love what you do for all of us ! Amazing on both ! I lean toward that side seam Bach's sound !
I like the Adams because of the brightness to me it is a lead horn. This Bach would be more of a small combo horn, it sounds like it is more forgiving.
I currently play a gold plated lightweight 37 Bach that has a tunable bell. It is fantastic and very versatile for playing outside, inside and I have a regular weight 37 bell for concert work. Trent I wish you could play it. Anyway in this test I like the Adams.
Wow! What beautiful sounding trumpets. It would be hard for me to select one of these horns from just listening to them. If I had to select from just this comparison and they were the same price, I would go with the Bach simply because I am playing one now and I think it would be easier to change to it.
Both sound great. For me I liked the Bach a little bit more in the lower register and the Adams in the upper. Overall...Adams. That being said, I think they’ve done a great job capturing the early Elkhart sound with the anniversary model.
Both sound great. I leaning toward the Bach.
Bach is darker, colder, has less projection. Adams warmer, has more spin, sounds less resistant.
Brightness leaps out of the Bach sound with the articulation. The core of the Adams sound is most prominent until the intensity ramps up.
You sound great on both trumpets. I think I prefer the sound on the Adams on the Arbans and jazz. It sounds like the targets are bigger and more locked in. I did like the sound of the Bach better on the commercial studf.
I hesitate to tell my preference because I don’t want to start a flame war, but I prefer the Bach. It sounds cleaner, clearer, less stuffy, slightly brighter, but then it should, with a 43 bell. They both sound good, though. It’s a matter of degrees.
Sounds very similar 😄but i like the adams more because i have one 😂
You're in the Family!
Bach seems to have more overtones, which I like. More interesting interesting to my ear.
Although you sound great on both I like the warmer sound of the Bach. I have a 1935 and a 1958 Bach Strad so I am probably partial.
For sound, I prefer this particular Bach 43, though I perceive there’s more resistance with the Bach.
The Mt Vernon Bach Strad was the standard of the industry. Can’t do wrong with a Bach,but I owned a Bach so I’m partial to it. The Adams looks funky.
A strat is a guitar.
@@austincustom lol. I owned one or those too
I’ve been playing on a Bach LR 43 Strad for over 20 years counting back to high school for me. The Bach here has a very familiar sound to me. I would call it bright and poppy. The wires that came to mind for the Adams was creamy. As someone that plays more lead jazz regularly, is there an Adams horn that would be a step up from a reverse leadpipe 43 bell Bach Strad? An A2 like this, or maybe an A4 LT?
Both sounds different, but great.
What do I hear? To me the Adams has a clearer, sweeter, slightly brighter sound than the Bach. I prefer the Adams. BTW Where in Arban’s book would I find the first excerpt you played?
Both are good or wonderful , i play yamaha i should take Adam A1 , because i go by how it sounds or tone , Bach sounds like easy center and good blow at start but at high sounds short and elastic but i know that it hits hard., Adan a 1 the lower tone it has a little less carácter but equal good treble and at high nicer and it feels spandible and good for latin gen. the only thing for me is that at beginning if say Fa it sounds like Flaa it has an accent but it's Ok. The are not similar, they are appreciated similar. Thanks for your good testing.
For me sounds like Bach is kinda sharper a bit....and Adams has that a bit mellower tone.... But both trumpets are sweet and awesome 👍 👍👌!!!
The Adams is a bit clearer . The Bach is more mellow .It would depend on the price. Both nice sounding horns .
Wow Bach really pulled it off with the anniversary models, adams is still king
Donna Lee sounded great on the A1.
Trent! What are some features of the Adams Gen II that most people don't know about? What is your favorite aspect of your horn? very curious!
There are plenty of other vids on this horn on our channel. Run a search and check out the show and tell especially.
Sound identical,but the Adams is a hair brighter .
What to say? I tend a little toward the Bach.
It's a good Bach (and already sold) but I do prefer the Adams!
WHICH SOUND DO YOU HEAR IN YOUR HEAD???
I hear the sound of someone yelling at me..
Oh wait that was just the reply in all caps.
Bach seems to be a little richer sounding ....in my headphones.
The adams sounds more focused, it rings a little more. The Bach sounds like it's got a cold.
The Bach has less cut, and sounds darker and rounder.
I like the high Bb`s at the end of Donna Lee. Funny!! BTW both sound great, blind testing, I find myself leaning towards the 43. Who knows why...
Playing the classical stuff the bach sounded much better and you seemed to be able to articulate much cleaner.
Playing the jazz stuff the Adams was much better.
They sound similar. I consider the 43 the best sounding of the BACH brand.
I used to play a 43 then switched to a 37. They are both great.
The bach has more core sound
