Description

Bach Standard Series mouthpieces are some of the most popular mouthpieces in the world among both students and professionals. 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. "Choosing the perfect mouthpiece is often more difficult than choosing the perfect instrument. Your success as a musician depends on the choice of equipment that will do justice to your capabilities." -Vincent Bach

  • Counterfeit trumpet mouthpiece?
Style: Mouthpiece
Received the trumpet mouthpiece and assumed it was a legitimate Bach since this seems to be a reputable seller. However after 11 months of difficulties using it a teacher noticed that it did not seem to be a proper Bach. After looking into it a bit further, the one we purchased here has no engraving at all and has a slightly different shape. General consensus online and music teachers indicate that legitimate Bach's all have engraving. This is very disappointing since we paid around $55 and it is past the return date. Have since bought a real one at a local music store and there are significant differences. If you buy it here have a knowledgeable person check it out right away. ... show more

  • Mine first one was fake
Style: Mouthpiece
UPDATE: Watch your sellers. I got lax with this. My first one was not a real Bach mouthpiece, just a generic Chinese mouthpiece with "3C" etched on it. No Bach markings anywhere on the mouthpiece or the packaging. The shape of the rim was way different than an actual Bach 3C. This is the first counterfeit item I've ever encountered from Amazon. Not only that, the seller, Sikang, shipped late enough so by the time it was delivered and I could see it, it was to late to get a refund through Amazon. I didn't even try through "Sinkang", just wrote it off to a lesson learned. My second, seller Bertrand's Music, was genuine and delivered VERY fast. ... show more

  • Pleasantly surprised
Style: Mouthpiece
Product review is toward the end, but here's some background and hope it helps some of you. I started playing trumpet in Elementary school with a Bach 7c not even knowing there were different styles of trumpet mouthpieces. I played with the Bach 7c mouthpiece into High School. I didn't realize until a few months ago I had the incorrect embouchure (how we use the muscles in our face to support our lips to buzz) which limited my range and endurance which is probably why I never got past 3rd trumpet in Band. It's surprising that even after paying for private lessons as a teen and having several different band Teachers none were able to catch my incorrect embouchure. After 28 years of NOT playing trumpet I wanted to pick it up again. I started watching a ton of YouTube videos and one of the best I've seen is How To Form a Trumpet (brasswind) Embouchure in Four Steps by Charlie Porter. This has done wonders for my range and endurance even after only playing a couple days. When I used to play the center of my lip would bubble up from applying to much pressure and playing with the red of the lip. Now that doesn't happen using proper Embouchure. You need to have a good and proper Embouchure, or no matter how good the mouthpiece, you will still be limited in range and endurance. That being said I received this mouthpiece on my 3rd day back to playing trumpet. After measuring and comparing the two side by side the Bach 3C mouthpiece has a slightly wider diameter and shallower cup than the Bach 7C. The Bach 7C is a touch deeper with a narrower cup diameter (see image). For me, playing higher notes seemed easier with the design of the Bach 3C than the 7C. That being said I was still able to play a good sounding low F# on the 3C. My tone seemed cleaner, and the sound was richer with this Bach 3C than on the 7C. I was a bit nervous because of the cost, but with the Amazon Prime return policy I bought it to test it out and will definitely be keeping it! Oh, I did confirm when I did receive this 3C mouthpiece that it did come in a Bach mouthpiece box, and in that box, it was in a sealed bag and Vincent Bach 3C was engraved on the mouthpiece (see image). ... show more

  • It is genuine Bach and has a great sound and feel.
Style: Mouthpiece
I had asked a question here about whether I would get a genuine Bach as some reviewers had said they did not. It came in a Bach mouthpiece box and had VINCENT BACH 3C engraved on it. I am sure it is genuine. The feel of the mouthpiece is phenomenal. I am in the processing of switching from the generic 7C's that came with the trumpets I own. I had tried a generic Chinese made 3C and there was no difference for me in the way the 3C played. In fact it was worse. This Bach mouthpiece plays so easily. It is comfortable, has added to my range and the word that comes to mind is smooth. It feels as if the mouthpiece is resonating with the notes I am trying to play and helping them rather than being a passive partner in my playing. ... show more

  • Beware -Not the official Bach
Style: Mouthpiece
We paid for the price of a Bach mouthpiece. It came in a fancy blue velvet box which was unusual. When we opened it up, it was not an official Bach. Every Bach mouthpiece has a signature engraving on it. There was no such thing on this one. Returning it as it was very misleading.

  • Nice mouthpiece for those who want consistency
Style: Mouthpiece
It's hard to review a mouthpiece, because every brass player is going to have a preference as to what they like in a mouthpiece based on their embouchure, the shape and size of their lips, the type of playing they do, etc. I will say that the Bach 3C is a nice all-around mouthpiece for both classical and jazz playing. The diameter allows me to both create a nice, open sound but still have the ability to add zip for jazz/lead trumpet playing. Most lead players would venture towards a shallower mouthpiece, but I've found it is much easier for me to play high on this since it allows for the swelling of the lips that eventually occurs (I bottom out on shallower mouthpieces). For those beginners looking for a progression to follow, many start on a Bach 7C, then to 5C(late middle school), then 3C (high school). Some move on to the 1.5C (if you practice a lot and it fits your embouchure), or venture out to other brands. Everyone develops differently, so these suggestions are just general guidelines. Talk with your music teacher or private instructor before any mouthpiece switch. I've played for 26 years, tried many mouthpieces, and came back to the 3C because it is just a great mouthpiece, so moving on from the 3C isn't necessary if you are creating the type of sound you like. Good luck! Give any mouthpiece switch at least a month to take hold - Don't judge it from just a few days. ... show more
