The BTR 355G is a Bach-branded trumpet outfit, manufactured and imported from the Conn Selmer factory in China. The instrument looks stunning; with its copper-brass bell and contrasting brass lacquer, it really has the ‘wow’ factor.

The familiar features from the Bach Strad are nearly all there, including the shape of the first-valve crook, the location of the third-valve ring, and the single water-key on the main tuning slide.
