DESCRIPTION
The Selmer Bach Model 1530 is a durable, well-built B♭ trumpet designed for student and developing intermediate players. Produced during the 1970s under the Vincent Bach / H. & A. Selmer banner, the 1530 earned a reputation as a dependable horn for beginning and advancing students, as well as a practical secondary or marching trumpet.
The 1530 combines straightforward, traditional trumpet design with the durability expected of a student instrument. Its yellow-brass body and bell, three-piston valve design, and B♭ configuration give a familiar playing experience suited to beginners, school band programs, developing musicians, and players who want a reliable second horn. The three-piston layout uses the standard fingering system found on modern B♭ trumpets, while the yellow brass contributes to the instrument's traditional response and tonal character.
This particular instrument has seen a few marching band events over the years. There are many scratches throughout the body, a few dings and minor pings, and some metal wear on the structure of the trumpet. Our technician has adjusted it for General Playing Conditions. The package includes the trumpet, a hardshell plush-lined case, and a Vincent Bach 7C mouthpiece.
The B411XX serial number places this horn within the vintage 1970s production period associated with the Bach/Selmer student trumpet lines, built in Elkhart, Indiana, when H. & A. Selmer was producing instruments carrying the Vincent Bach name. That heritage makes the 1530 an interesting vintage option for players and collectors alike.
