The history of Bach starts with mouthpieces. A century ago, trumpet player Vincent Bach began experimenting with designs and manufacturing processes to replace a broken mouthpiece.
Soon after, Vincent Bach’s mouthpieces, and later his trumpets, set the standard for excellence. We continue that standard today through constant innovation and dedication to the craft.
In the Bach workshop, crafting a mouthpiece begins with innovative, yet classic designs and is then carved by a computer-numeric-controlled machine that shapes and cuts solid brass bars. Each step is precise within one ten-thousandth of an inch.
Because no two players have the same lip or tooth formation, what is perfect for one player may be entirely unsuitable for another. Bach produces thousands of different combinations of rims, cups and backbores so that each player can find the best mouthpiece for their individual embouchure.
Specification
| Size | Cup | Cup dia (mm) | Rim Shape | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | Deep | 15.2 | Broad, rather flat | This popular model produces a full, mellow tone. A good choice for players of the English or Italian school who are accustomed to small mouthpieces and players with heavy, weak lips. |
| 12B | Medium deep | 15.2 | Broad, rather flat | The same rim as the 12, with a slightly shallower cup to make the tone for lively. High register responds well. |
| 12C | Medium | 15.2 | Broad, rather flat | Brilliant tone, easy high register for trumpeters who have to play forte in the upper range and for players with heavy, weak lips who have difficulty with the high tones. |
| 12CW | Medium | 15.2 | Broad, rather flat toward the inside | Cup diameter and depth are the same at the 12C, extra wide cushion rim. |
