Vintage Bach mouthpieces are highly prized amongst players and collectors alike for their unique performance and tonal qualities. However, when dealing with vintage Bach equipment, it is important to understand each mouthpiece should be approached as a one-off, as they vary widely in their exact cup size/shape and rim size/contour.
Unlike today's computer controlled lathes that laser measure and repeatedly cut to a high degree of accuracy,
these are one-of-a-kind, hand-honed pieces,
and
no two will measure, feel, or sound the same. However, despite this reputation for inconsistency in dimensions, pieces from this period are famously resonant and high quality. They were personally made by some of the most experienced craftsman in the industry and have the famous "Bach sound", which became the defining timbre of the modern trumpet in the 20th century and led the company to a decades long overwhelming market dominance for professional grade piston trumpets around the world.
