History of the Bach 6 3/4C

Post by gregwaits »

I’m curious as to the Bach 6 3/4C background…when it was first produced, for what player was it first made, etc.

Bach didn’t really keep mouthpiece manufacturing history, etc records, so it’s really anyone’s guess.

I own two. The earliest is a corporation (with dot). The fraction line between the numbers 3 and 4 is flat, not a forward flash like on the later ones. I think it is safe to assume that this model didn’t come into existence until after the move to Elkhart.

I’d like to see old Bach mouthpiece catalogues for reference.

Apparently they go back at least to Mt Vernon.

Thanks. Either I’m suffering memory loss or I didn’t see it. 😎
