Bach L551 Commercial Trumpet Mouthpiece

A new range of trumpet mouthpieces from Vincent Bach, aimed at the commercial/lead style player. The L551 range has become increasingly popular with the high-note players!
 

The Commercial series was designed specifically for lead trumpet players looking for greater depth of sound and volume when playing in higher registers.

The Commercial series starts with a Classic cup, but uses a 27 throat, a 24 backbore and increases the outside mass. Commercial mouthpieces are only available in Shallow and Medium V shaped cups.

Vincent Bach was a rare combination of artist and engineer. He was constantly changing his mouthpiece designs until the mid 1960’s when they became more standardized.

The formalization of the 27 throat and backbore to cup letter (A=24, B=7, C= 10, etc.) created a standard for the mouthpiece making that is still used today. These standards are known today as the Classic Series.
