Manufactured in the USA, the BACH 184 Cornet is a technical and powerful instrument that offers a brilliant tone and exceptional sound development. With a bore of 0.459 inches (11.66 mm) / L 0.462 inches (11.74 mm) or XL and a rose brass bell with a diameter of 4.81 inches (122.24 mm), it produces a rich and expressive sound. The 184 bell shape and 184 leadpipe ensure precise response and optimal projection.

The Monel pistons provide smooth and reliable action, while the trigger on the first slide and the fixed ring on the third slide allow for more comfortable playing and smoother transitions. The instrument comes with a case and a Bach 6 mouthpiece.

However, some criticisms should be noted. The finish quality of the BACH 184 Cornet is often disappointing, with fragile varnish and imperfect metals. Additionally, the sound accuracy can vary from model to model, although adjustments are improving. Finally, the price of this instrument is considered excessive by some musicians.

Despite these flaws, the BACH 184 Cornet remains appreciated for its remarkable sound and its ability to adapt to a wide range of musical styles. It is suitable for professional and demanding musicians looking for a powerful and expressive instrument.
