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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | Deep | 16.2 | Medium wide, lowered toward the outside. Medium sharp inside edge | This popular model produces a colourful, liquid tone which is uniform over the entire scale. Desirable for all-around work. |
| 7A | Very deep | 16.2 | Medium wide, lowered toward the outside. Medium sharp inside edge | Warm, melodious, rich tone approaches the quality of a lyric soprano voice. Free blowing. |
| 7B | Medium deep | 16.2 | Medium wide, lowered toward the outside. Medium sharp inside edge | Slightly livelier timbre than that 7, full in the low and middle registers, responds easily on high tones. Warm, rich sound. Well suited for all-around use. |
| 7BW | Medium deep | 16.2 | Medium wide, lowered toward the outside. Medium sharp inside edge | The same features as 7B with a cushion rim for players with slightly heavier lips. |
| 7C | Medium | 16.2 | Medium wide, lowered toward the outside. Medium sharp edge. Well rounded edge with a perfect grip | Probably the most widely used model in the world. Its brilliant tone is preferred by school musicians and by artists. |
| 7CW | Medium | 16.2 | Slightly wider, gradually lowered toward the outside | The same as the 7C with a comfortable cushion rim contour. Very practical for strenuous work and players with large lips. |
| 7D | Medium shallow | 16.2 | Medium wide, lowered toward the outside. Similar to 7C | A shallower cup than the 7C, designed principally for D trumpet, but used successfully where great brilliance and easy high register are required. |
| 7DW | Medium shallow | 16.2 | Slightly wider than 7D | This shallow Eb soprano trumpet (or cornet) cup is excellent for D trumpet and for playing continually in the high register. Cushion rim is helpful to players who use little too much pressure. |
| 7E | Shallow | 16.2 | Medium wide, similar to 7C | This extra shallow Eb soprano trumpet (or cornet) cup produces a crisp, sparkling tone in the extreme high register. Widely used for piccolo trumpet. |
| 7EW | Shallow | 16.2 | Slightly wider than 7E | The same as the 7E with a cushion rim. For players accustomed to playing with much pressure, especially in the high register. |
