Please select a condition below:

Used Products are rated and sorted by Condition. Used products with Conditions 1-3. can be returned in accordance with our standard return policy. Used items with Conditions 4 and 5 are sold AS-IS and are NON-RETURNABLE. Our Lowest Price Guarantee DOES NOT apply to any used gear we sell.

Used Gear Conditions

Condition 1 - Mint Condition

This instrument or product has been carefully played/used and returned to us in virtually new condition, however its packaging may not meet the standards set by the factory. Also, it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty. If you're looking for a virtually new instrument in possibly less-than-perfect packaging, this is a great value. We feel so strongly you'll like what you see, we're including our 60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee on instruments and 30 days on accessories, to this used product making it a no-risk purchase.

Condition 2 - Gently Used

Very Good: This instrument or product has been carefully played/used and shows few, minor signs of use. In most respects it looks and performs like new and may be considered equivalent to display units found in retail stores. Its packaging may not meet the standards set by the factory and it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty. Condition 2 products are a terrific value and you can buy with confidence knowing our 60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee on instruments and 30 days on accessories applies to this used product.

Condition 3 - Good Condition

This instrument or product is in good working condition but has one or more cosmetic flaws beyond those of a Condition 2 product. These flaws are typical of an instrument or product that's seen normal wear and tear, including incidental scratches, chips, dings, dents or other imperfections. It performs just as well as a Condition 1 or Condition 2 instrument/product. Its packaging may not meet the standards set by the factory and it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty. Condition 3 is a great choice if you're looking for performance and value and not as concerned with cosmetics. You can buy with confidence knowing our 60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee on instruments and 30 days on accessories applies to this used product.

Condition 4 - Fair – Needs Repair

This instrument or product is not in working condition and needs repair, but can be brought back to full functionality with replacement of parts or some skilled repair work. If you are a do-it-yourselfer or know a skilled repair person this is a terrific value. Condition 4 products are sold AS-IS: they do not come with a manufacturer's warranty and are not returnable.

Condition 5 - Poor – Parts Only

This instrument or product has been damaged beyond what we judge is reasonably repairable. It's best used for spare parts or to practice repairs on, and at this price Condition 5 products are sold AS-IS: they do not come with a manufacturer's warranty and are not returnable.

Vincent Bach was a rare combination of artist and engineer. A mechanical genius and acclaimed trumpet soloist, his instruments and mouthpieces are used today in every major studio and orchestra in the world. Bach personally designed the tools and composed the plans that continue to set the high standards for making all Bach products today.

"A fine choice for players with thin lips"

A fine choice in cornet or trumpet mouthpieces (3C) for players who have thin lips, and don't play a lot each day. The tone is imperceptibly less forceful, but the ease and comfort of playing off sets this and I recommend this Bach mouthpiece whole heartedly.

"The greatest cornet mouthpiece in the world for ME"

Mouthpieces are like shoes - one size does not fit all. I have played a Bach 3C for about 15 years and find in perfect for ME. A friend plays Monette?s on trumpet and cornet. I played his and was happy to get back to my Bach 3C. Like I said, like shoes'. Find the piece that fits your chops and play happily ever after.

"Differnt size"

if you have a 3c and you want to get your range up you should go out and buy a 1 1/4 c. if you play on it for a week then switch back to the 3c your range will go up and you will find yourself playing notes that alone without the 1 1/4c you wouldn?t be hitting. It?s a good trick when trying to play in the upper octaves it helped me. You should warm up on the 1 1/4c play a couple of to octave scales then switch to the 3c
