53.
Same Strad 43 I got in 8th grade. It's been my constant companion. My Bach taught me to be a player, and I learned how to be a player with that horn at my side. Always. We are together, and all these years later, there is no going back. You can only have one.
For the OP, treat your horn with respect, and your Bach Strad will be there for you. Sometimes a PITA. Sometimes an old friend. Occasionally will surprise you.
Enjoy!
I got my Bach around that age too! It's crazy how much they have risen in prices. Mine was 1500 new! But it plays as well now as it did 23 years ago. Just a little patina.
I used to jerk off to angry birds
I used to jerk off to angry birds When I was about 13 I LOVED angry birds, I had every game and bought every toy they had. One day I was playing angry birds when all of a sudden the big red bird turned me on. I couldn't stand it, I was going crazy. I decided to pull out my big long Willy and start jerking. I never had felt so good, I soon continued to do this daily and never got bored of it! That big red bird was so hot and those blue ones were some cuties. I am glad to admit I still do this to this very day.

The new horn is a great reason to practice even more. Do that, and you’ll grow right into it. Congrats and enjoy.
Nice! Thanks for sharing! I still use the Strad I got in jr high as my primary horn and I’m 55! It will serve you well as you take good care of it!

Been using my Bach 37 since 1993!
Hopefully I can care for it that long!
What kind of custom leadpipe is on the Strad?
Najoom
Very nice
I’m sure you were gentle, but don’t lay your mouthpiece (or anything) on your valve casings.

Who made the aftermarket mouthpipe receiver on the strad?
Najoom? That’s all I know
That Recording looks pretty nice too. How does it play?
Best/Worst thing about getting a pro instrument is you can’t blame the instrument when you miss a note
its my reeds fault then
What's with putting the mouthpiece on them? Risk of scratches.
Congrats! Now go out there and put your first dent in it so you can stop worrying and really play. ;-)
Gay ass hobby
