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

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | Deep | 16.2 | Medium wide, not too sharp | Produces a rich, clear tone of substantial body. Its rim shape was preferred by Vincent Bach (Cornet model comes with #24 backbore) |
| 6B | Medium deep | 16.2 | Medium wide, not too sharp | Produces a beautiful, ringing tone and responds easily. Medium-large size gives the lips sufficient room to execute freely. |

| 6C | Medium | 16.2 | Medium wide, not too sharp, fairly flat | A distinctive C trumpet cup. Its clear tone cuts through the largest bands and orchestras. |
