Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

The Bach Stradivarius Model trumpet uses a yellow-brass bell, leadpipe, slides, nickel-silver slide tubing, and nickel-silver upper ballasts for the valve block cylinders!. The pistons are monel!. They are available in lacquer, silver (like yours), or gold-plating!. There are a number of different bell and leadpipe combinations that are available for the Stradivarius Model!. You will find the bell number stamped on the bell, and the leadpipe number stamped on the mouthpiece receiver!. It can have a standard tuning slide or a reversed-leadpipe tuning slide, as well!.
