The BachLoyalist.com website was started in 2000 with the goal of building a complete reference to everything related to Vincent Bach and the various Bach-branded trumpets and trombone instruments. This site has grown through the many contributions of fellow Bach loyalists and is the most complete reference of Bach-related instruments on the Internet.
It has evolved from a loose collection of images and text to a great resource for Bach fans, with over 180 articles, 1,300+ images, and more than 2,800 Bach Trumpets and Trombones registered in the database.
This site is maintained by a fellow Bach loyalist (trumpet player), along with his wife, who is also a Bach loyalist (trumpet player), and three grown kids who are all Bach loyalists (all trumpet players who played through college), a son-in-law who is also a (you guessed it) trumpet player, and a granddaughter who can play the bugle (future trumpet player princess). Needless to say, we have a lot of trumpets in our family.
We always seek additional information and images to be added to our site. If you have an interesting addition, please contact us.
The Evolution of BachLoyalist .com
from 2000 to present
(and thousands of hours later)
BachLoyalist.com was registered in December 2000, by a fellow Bach loyalist. The name was chosen, as it matched the first major trumpet loyalist site, called the Schilke Loyalist which was launched on March 1999.

“Everything about Vincent Bach Instruments.”
BachLoyalist was hand-coded using HTML when it first started. It included an early version of the serial number list, and some photos of Vincent Bach.
We updated the design and added a lot of content in 2009 to BachLoyalist. The site was still hand-coded using HTML, and specific details on Bach Trumpets, Trombones, Mouthpieces, and updated Serial Number lists were added.
This update incorporated a lot of new features that are still on BachLoyalist.com today.
We redesigned BachLoyalist.com using WordPress in late 2013. This allowed for ease of updating the content on BachLoyalist.
We added numerous images (more than 500) of various Bach-related topics.
We updated BachLoyalist in 2015 to a more modern version of WordPress and updated key features such as the ONLINE Bach database used by more than 2500 fellow Bach loyalists.
In addition, we created our social media channels (Facebook, …) and started sharing more photos.
We updated BachLoyalist in 2020 for the 20th anniversary of the BachLoyalist and celebrating the many Bach loyalists who have shared their Bach details with the site.
In early 2023, we updated BachLoyalist to a more modern & easy-to-read customer experience. We are still updating the site, including a newsletter, updating the Bach instrument database, building a library of Vincent Bach Corporation, Inc. catalogs, etc. Additionally, we added:
- Bach Library
- Updated Database
- Vincent Bach History
For the 100th anniversary of Vincent Bach’s trumpets in 2024, we have updated BachLoyalist.com to include a site-wide update of much more detailed information about Vincent’s brass instruments. The site now comprises:
- > 180 articles
- > 1250 images
- > 55 library documents
- > 2800 instruments in the database
