The Bach Sterling Plus bells were introduced in the Spring of 1993 on Stradivarius model trumpets.

The Sterling Plus silver content is 99.9% pure silver (should probably be called a Silver bell, as Sterling Silver is 92% silver content), while other manufacturers have sterling bells with around 92-93% silver content and 7% copper content (which is known as Sterling Silver)

“Sterling Plus bells (99.9% pure silver, seamless construction) fully complement partials (overtones) in the tonal spectrum for a focused sound with great projection.

Silver is a slightly softer and denser materials than brass. Bach discovered it produces a richer sound with more overtones and great projection.

The Sterling Plus bell projects a full, resonant sound in all situations.  When pushed to loud levels, it maintains fullness and core.  Even at pianissimo, it keeps a round, lively tone.
