Bach Registration & Warranty Cards
The registration and warranty cards for Vincent Bach’s trumpets have changed. Starting in the 1930s, Vincent Bach used to sign a warranty certificate for each Vincent Bach Stradivarius instrument sold. Later, in the Mt. Vernon era, they switched to a standardized registration and warranty card, which the owners returned to Vincent Bach Corporation.
Once the H. & A. Selmer company purchased Vincent Bach Corporation, they transitioned to a standardized Bach warranty information, as demonstrated below. If you have any additional examples, please share them with us through the footer.
Here is an example of a 1940 Vincent Bach Corporation Warranty, included with a Bach trumpet.
” DO NOT LET ANYONE TELL YOU PISTONS WORK BETTER WITHOUT OIL.”
These example warranty cards are from immediately after the purchase of Vincent Bach Corporation by H. & A. Selmer in the fall of 1962. If you have examples of earlier Vincent Bach Corporation warranty cards from Mt. Vernon, please get in touch with us through the website.
