Item Details
The Bach 351 trumpet mouthpiece collection is the archetype for most modern mouthpiece designs. The vast range of sizes available allows any player to choose a Bach mouthpiece and improve their comfort, efficiency and sound. The sizing system illustrated here is used by many other brands and has become a standard for comparison.
Most of these descriptions are culled from the Vincent Bach Mouthpiece Manual, which is worth a look. The manual is a treasure trove of information. The last sentence in each, comparing the size to the adjacent mouthpiece, is based on viewing the Kanstul Mouthpiece Comparator.
The Bach mouthpieces below and those in the drop down menu are the models we stock. There are a few other sizes readily available. If you wish for a more obscure size of Bach mouthpiece, please call or email. Most sizes are available within 1-2 weeks. We also stock a selection of Bach cornet and flugelhorn mouthpieces.
