Vincent Bach Musical Instruments

In 1918, with the investment of $300 for a foot-operated lathe, Vincent Bach went into the business of making mouthpieces. The business grew rapidly and in 1924, the first Bach trumpets were produced. Musicians frequently referred to a Bach trumpet as a real ‘Stradivarius’, thus inspiring the name Bach Stradivarius. Bach later added trombones to his line around 1928.
