BACH STRADIVARIUS
THE SOUND CHOICE OF PROFESSIONALS
VINCENT BACH COMBINED HIS UNIQUE TALENTS AS BOTH A MUSICIAN AND AN ENGINEER TO CREATE BRASS
INSTRUMENTS OF UNEQUALED TONAL QUALITY - INSTRUMENTS WHICH TODAY REMAIV THE SOUND CHOICE OF
ARTISTS WORLDWIDE. Born
Vincent Schrotenbach in Vienna in 1890, he initially received training on the
violin, then switched to the trumpet when he heard its majestic sound. Although Vincent also displayed a strong
aptitude for science and graduated from the Maschinenbauschule with an engineering degree, he gave up a
promising engineering career to pursue his first love and an uncertain future as a musician. The risk paid off.
Performing under the stage name of Vincent Bach, he established musical success as he toured throughout
Europe.
World War 1 forced Vincent's move to New York City where he arrived with only $5.00 in his pockets. A
letter to the famous conductor Karl Muck got Vincent an audition and a resulting Position with the Boston
Symphony. By the following season, Vincent was first trumpet in the Metropolitan Opera House opera and
ballet orchestras, performing in the American premiere of Stravinsky's Petroushka and Firebird. While on tour in
Pittsburgh, Vincent was convinced by a repairman that he could improve the mouthpiece on Vincent's trumpet.
After the man ruined the mouthpiece, Vincent had great difficulty Einding a suitable replacement.
This was the beginn i ng of Vincent's realization of the very real need for high-quality mouthpieces. His discovery
was further substantiated when, during the World War, Vincent served as sergeant and bandmaster of the 306th
Army Field Artillery Band at Camp Union,

Long Island. As head of the bugle school, Vincent found both
mouthpieces and instruments to be of inferior qualiry. While an
furloughs, Vincent went to New York City where he remodeled
old mouthpieces and made new ones in a back room of the
Selmer Music Store. In 1918, while performing part-time at
the Rivoli Theater, Bach invested $300 for a foot-operated
lathe and an office at 11 East 14th Street to begin the business
of producing mouthpieces. The business grew rapidly and, in
1924, the first Bach trumpets were manufactured. Musicians
frequently referred to a Bach trumpet as a "real `Stradivarius' of
a trumpet," thus inspiring the brand name Bach Stradivarius.
Bach trombones followed in 1928.
At the age of 71 in 1961, Bach decided to seil his company. Although he received twelve other offers, including
some that were higher, Vincent chose to seil to The Selmer Company. His dose relationship with Selmer over
the years convinced Vincent that this was the company that would preserve the Bach tradition of excellence and
expand upon the foundations he built. All tooling and machinery was moved from Mount Vernon, New York,
to Selmer's operations in Elkhart, Indiana, with Vincent assisting in the training. True to Vincent's vision, The
Selmer Company still painstakingly follows Bach's original designs
and blueprints to manufacture Bach Stradivarius instruments,
the sound choice of professionals.

that the bore size determines an instrument's tone

the rate of taper in the mouthpipe and bell section
influence whether the sound is dark or bright. A
trumpet bore is measured at the inside diameter of
the second valve slide.
Bach Stradivarius trumpets are offered in a number
of bore sizes. While [arge bore instruments may
have greater volume of sound and carrying power,
they require more effort to play. Most musicians
will prefer a medium-large bore Bach. The
