VINCENT BACH
COMBINED HIS UNIQUE TALENTS AS BOTH A MUSICIAN AND AN ENGINEER
– INSTRUMENTS WHICH
Born Vincent
TODAY REMAIN THE SOUND CHOICE OF ARTISTS WORLDWIDE.
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 I 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 who said that he could improve the
mouthpiece on Vincent’s trumpet. After the man ruined the
mouthpiece, Vincent had great difficulty finding a suitable replacement. This was
the beginning 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 quality.

While on 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 sell his company. Although he received twelve
other offers, including some that were higher, Vincent chose to Bach trombones are available in
sell to The Selmer Company. His close relationship with Selmer three handsomely hand-engraved
bell patterns- anniversary,
over the years convinced Vincent that this was the company
standard, and deluxe (pictured
left to right).
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.

BORE
Trombone bores are a measurement of the inside diameter
of the inner slide tubes. As the bore size changes so does the
bell design. The shape of the tapered surface, or rate of flare,
determines the characteristic sound of the instrument. Slow
tapers yield bright tones, while fast tapers produce dark,
warm sounds. Smaller bore trombones, having bells with
slower rates of taper, produce a brighter jazz sound. Larger
bore trombones, having bells with faster rates of taper, yield
darker symphonic tone qualities.

with narrow handslides for playing comfort.
The gooseneck, a section of pipe located immediately
after the handslide section, serves as a “choke” to further
balance the blowing resistance. The model LT16M features a
more open gooseneck (i.e., less constriction), creating less
resistance and more flexibility. The optional open gooseneck
for the 42 series tenor trombones also results in a more open
instrument.

ROTOR SECTIONS
Many Bach Stradivarius trombones
can be configured with traditional,
Balanced or Thayer™ Valves. Bach
®
trombones with traditional rotor
valve sections offer a choice of either
open or traditional wrap. Open
wrapping of the rotor section places
fewer and larger bends in the tubing,
resulting in less blowing resistance.
Traditional wrapping provides compactness and protection. Traditional
rotor sections can also be made from
gold brass tubing.
T H A Y E R ™ V A LV E S
The top two pictures
highlight traditional rotor
valves. Open wrapping of
the rotor section (pictured
top) places fewer and
larger bends in the
tubing, resulting in less
blowing resistance.
Traditional wrapping
(pictured second from top)
offers the advantages of
compactness and
protection. Both the
Balanced Valve®
(pictured second from
bottom) and Thayer™
Valve (pictured bottom)
allow for a free and
unimpeded flow of the air
column combined with
open wrapping.
B A L A N C E D V A LV E ® S Y S T E M
Combined with a gold brass bell,
gold brass rotor section tubing creates a dark, warm sounding instrument. Balanced Valve® and
Thayer™ Valve systems eliminate
sharp crook tube bends within the
rotor itself. Combined with open
wrap section tubing, both the
Balanced Valve® and Thayer™ Valve
allow for a free and unimpeded
flow of the air column, regardless
of whether the B of F sides of the
trombone are being used.
