Bach? TrumpetsThe story of Vincent Bach
During a tour in Pittsburgh, Vincent Bach, the seasoned musician, had a realization after a bad mouthpiece experience. Where can one find a high-quality mouthpiece? His questioning was supported by his time leading the bugle school during the war. In 1918, Vincent Bach settled in a New York office and began producing mouthpieces.
The first Bach trumpets were made in 1924. Quickly, musicians considered them the
Stradivarius of the trumpet, inspiring the brand name: Bach Stradivarius. Bach trombones followed in 1928.
After successful years, Vincent Bach chose to sell his company to a trusted house: Conn-Selmer, Inc. After moving from New York to Indiana, Vincent Bach took the time to train employees to continue producing high-quality instruments. Vincent Bach thus combined his unique talents as a musician and mechanical engineer to create instruments with unparalleled sound quality.

The trumpet combines materials, manufacturing processes, and vintage design elements that offer incredible agility and quick response. This ease of use, even in the most extreme registers, develops a unique sound.
