Bach Stradivarius Leadpipe/Mouthpipe Receiver Designs
Vincent Bach changed the length of the Bach Trumpet mouthpiece receiver in the late 1950s, as he also changed the overall trumpet tubing wrap. This shortened mouthpiece receiver is a visual way to quickly identify the age of a New York-era Bach Stradivarius trumpet.
” The mouthpiece receiver was shorted by Vincent Bach himself back in the late 1950s before he sold his company to the Selmer Company. I don’t know his reason for doing this. We kept his designs.”
