Bach Brass

The leading manufacturer of world-class,
American-made brass instruments. By 1925, he moved into a larger building and started making his first trumpets.

Vincent Bach was born Vincent Schrotenbach just outside of Vienna, Austria on March 24th, 1890. While Vincent started his early musical career on violin, he soon developed a love and passion for the cornet. Although he developed into an accomplished cornetist, Vincent’s father insisted he pursue a vocation in mechanical engineering. After gaining his degree in mechanical engineering and at the outbreak of WW1, Vincent shortened his name to Vincent Bach and came to the United States where he played with the Boston Symphony. While on tour with the BSO, he damaged his mouthpiece and decided to design, make, and play his own mouthpiece. Colleagues asked to have mouthpieces for themselves, and in 1918 he started his business of making brass mouthpieces. Musicians frequently referred to his Bach trumpet as the “the ‘Stradivarius’ of a trumpet”, thus inspiring the brand name Bach Stradivarius. Bach sold his company to The H & A Selmer Company, a leading manufacturer and distributor of student, amateur, and professional instruments in 1961. True to Vincent’s vision, Conn-Selmer still follows the Bach tradition of excellence.

That’s the philosophy international trombone artist, Peter Steiner has lived by, from the practice room to the world stage.

Every student is on that same path. What feels out of reach today is one step closer tomorrow.

🔍 Dive into Voicing Exploration with John Raymond and his Bach 65 Trumpet 🎺

John writes "Taking a voicing like this through the keys is such a good workout! It fine tunes your ear, gets you comfortable in every key, and forces you to keep everything smooth as you play through the registers. Plus, once you get it down, then you can use this sound to improvise over a myriad of different harmonic contexts!"

136 years ago, 𝐕𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐳 𝐇𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐡 was born.

A virtuoso who refused to compromise, Bach began hand-crafting mouthpieces because nothing available met his expectations. That pursuit of excellence didn’t just shape his own instruments, it redefined what players around the world would demand from theirs.

That standard lives on in every Bach instrument.

Happy Birthday, Vincent.

100 years ago today, "𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐮𝐬" was officially registered as a Vincent Bach trademark. The name had already been in use for nearly a year, thanks to 𝐄𝐬𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐚𝐛, the woman Vincent married as the Stradivarius trumpet was born. Esther was a linguist, a marketer, and the voice that brought Vincent's vision to the world.

From 1926 through 1931, Vincent stamped 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐛𝐚𝐭 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐨 - followed by the year the instrument was built below the Stradivarius name, the same inscription 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐨 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐢 placed inside his violins.

These are the performances that Bach trumpets are built for.
