I'm considering buying on e-bay either a silver 37 or silver 43. Could somebody please explain any differences between these two and/or which one is the best.

The 43 is brighter and better for lead trumpet and the 37 is good for all around playing. Some people play lead on a 37 as well . What kind of playing situations do you need the horn for? I personally like the 37 the best, but it does not necessarily mean one is better than the other. I think you can't go wrong with a 37. It works well for all playing situations.

Thanks, I am a comeback player and coming back after a 43 yr absence. I bought a cheap student horn and regret doing that now so just wanted a better trumpet for myself. I play for my own enjoyment only. |

The 43 bell is definitely brighter then the 37. The 37 is a better all around horn.

A 72 bell is considered to give the darkest sound of the bell sizes, and is recommended for orchestral playing.
A small disclaimer...the best thing to do to decide which bell you want is to hustle on over to the nearest music store and try a Bach with a 37 bell, then one with a 43 bell and make your choice based on sound and feel.

I think that the 65 bell is a bit darker than the 72. _________________ Chris

I have a 72 with a 43 lp. I play in a latin jazz orchestra with three trumpets players. Two of them have the 37 model. I tested both and prefer the 72. It makes more bright sound over the 37. _________________ Bach Strad 72*/43 ML

How does the resistance in the 43 compared to the 37? |

I always kind of feel the 43 plays more open. For me personally, I prefer the 37.
I did do an experiment by building a horn with a tighter #6 pipe and a 43 bell. I think it's very well balanced.
For a good, overall (do-all) horn, the 25 pipe/37 bell is probably the way to go. That's not meaning the 43 isn't bad. Just my opinion.

Do these different Bach models have different bore sizes?

Here's some good information on the different bells:
