Their fundamental component is intense; the upper partials are reduced to a minimum. Do not...

Bach Trumpet Mouthpiece Group I in Silver
Bach mouthpieces are designed to meet every conceivable playing need and have for nearly three quarters of a century. A Bach mouthpiece will make a poor instrument play well, a good instrument play better. Volume and excellent intonation, ease of response in the high and low register, rich, uniform timbre throughout the range, and resistance calculated to increase the player's endurance - these characteristics explain why the best professional artists choose Bach.


Because Bach mouthpieces are the accepted standard of quality, their numbers are familiar everywhere as designations for certain models and types. Although Bach mouthpieces have often been copied, they have never been equaled for precision, tuning, and playing characteristics. Only genuine Bach mouthpieces bear the full inscription VINCENT BACH with one of the model numbers.

"Bach still beats them all..."

Well, I started out on your average 7C. Doesn't everyone? A little while of playing and I felt like like the mouthpiece just really wasn't my thing, so I talked to my private instructor and she recommended to go with anything along the lines of a 5 or a 3. So I went to my local music store, tried a few out, and came home with a 5B. Generally, a good mouthpiece for anyone who is a beginning/early intermediate trumpet player. It hold up nicely in a beginner's register, so it was a good fit fo me at the time. A year later, however, I felt like I needed another change; I thought I could really find a mouthpiece that felt like it was "custom-made" for me. So, the quest began. After talking to my instructor, band director, and friends in the orchestra, I found something at last- a 1X. now, this is an older version of today's 1. Don't think it's outdated and that the 1 is a lot better because it's newer. The 1X is just a little different in the design, which tured out to be exactly what I was looking for! The 1X is an EXCELLENT mouthpiece for anyone with bigger lips or anyone who also plays trombone/euphonium. It's so nice that I can be playing my euphonium in a comcert, set it down and pick up my trumpet, and blast away at a solo! (True story!) The 1X has a superb register and excellent intonation for anyone who is having trouble with those two issues. Overall, My main point that I want to make is that you really can't go wrong with a Bach mouthpiece...keep trying them out, and you will eventually find one that feels perfect for you!!!

The sound of bach mouthpieces are great. I've played on a bach mouthpice since 4th grade. I started out with a 7C, which was perfect for me when i was a beginner. The "C" cup mouthpieces have a wonderful tone, and is very versatile. You can make jazz out of it, but its probably best for regular concert band. I play on a 3C now, and i can easily play high C and higher. Bach mouthpieces are great!

"The 3E has helped me out with my high notes."

So i switched over to a 3C/E and I sound so much better. I have to play the second G above the staff in our show and that 3E has helped tremendously. I reccomend a Bach E for anyone who needs to play in the high register.

I recently bought a 3E- same size as 3C but way shallower. As soon as I started playing, my range increased incredibly. I was hitting notes above high C- all the way to the c above it. Its tone is very bright and crisp, so it wouldn't be suitable for regular concert band, definetely not for orchestra. It works best for jazz. Its really fun to hit notes that you never imagined you could before!

The same perfect Bach 5C mouthpiece I bought (and misplaced) over thirty years ago! I needed to know what had changed after not playing for a long time. The Bach 7C that I also used back then seems less responsive than back in the day. Now I know it was me so I can get to the business of rebuilding and playing again!
