Bach Stradivarius
The Artisan Collection
Vincent Bach
Born March 24, 1880 in Austria as Vincent Schrottenbach, Vincent Bach began his musical career as a
violinist before switching to trumpet at the age of 15. Shortly after arriving in the United States in 1914,
the young Vincent is inducted into the US Army where he becomes bandmaster of the 306th Field Artillery
Band in Long Island New York. In 1918, Bach opens his first shop on East 85th Street in New York City
where he handcrafted mouthpieces. As his reputation grew, the need for more space drove him to open
a new shop on East 41st Street. It was here that the first “Bach” trumpets were manufactured. A mere
6 years later finds the Bach Company again in need of more space to keep up with demand and Vincent
relocates a third time to East 216th Street in the Bronx. From the Bronx facility came the first trombone
bearing the name Bach in 1929.
Over the years, the company produced several ranges of trumpets, cornets, flugelhorns and trombones,
using the brand names Apollo, Minerva, Mercury, Mercedes and Stradivarius. The Vincent Bach Corporation
moved in 1953 from New York City to Mount Vernon, New York where Bach retired in 1961 Vincent Bach.
Since that date, the Vincent Bach Company has been opereated by The Selmer Company (Conn-Selmer) in
Elkhart, Indiana. True to Vincent’s vision, Conn-Selmer, Inc. painstakingly follows Bach’s original designs
and prints to manufacture Bach Stradivarius instruments, the sound choice of professionals.
