Bach Stradivarius Trumpet & Trombones Factory Tours
There have been a few Elkhart Bach factory tour videos over the years. Here’s our collection of videos of the Elkhart site.
As part of an education series, Nebraska ETV Network made a video about brass instruments and recorded a section of the Elkhart factory in 1990. (H.W. Petersen was listed as the President in the video)
This video included guests from the Empire Brass Quintet and a young Tedd Waggoner.

The Selmer Company sold VHS tapes of how Vincent Bach Stradivarius trumpets were built in Elkhart in 1993. This VHS tape was also included in the Selmer Company catalog for both dealers and their customers to purchase.
This video was created before the internet and video hosting services like YouTube. A copy of this video has been uploaded to the BachLoyalist YouTube channel.
” Come with us on a twenty-minute tour of the Bach factory.
In addition to learning how brass and other materials are meticulously transformed into exquisite instruments by skilled American craftsmen, the basic principles of trumpet design and acoustics are clearly explained and illustrated.
To purchase your copy, please visit your Selmer dealer or write The Selmer Company.”
