V.Bach TR-600 SP Bb Trumpet Vincent Bach Vincent Schrotenbach was born in Vienna in 1890 and began playing the trumpet, attracted by its magnificent sound. Vincent was also technic ally gifted, earning a degree in mechanical engineering, but instead of the promising career of an engineer he chose to pursue a career as a musician, performing recitals around Europe under the stage name Vincent Buck and gaining fame as a brilliant soloist. He moved to the United States during World War I, where he served as first trumpet for the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, and also performed in the American premieres of Stravinsky's The Firebird and Petrushka. As he continued his performance career, he became keenly aware of the importance of mouthpieces and developed a passion for producing high-quality mouthpieces. He set up a workshop behind the Selmer Music Store in New York, where he began modifying and producing mouthpieces, devoting himself to research. In 1918, Bach began making mouthpieces in earnest, and the first Bach trumpet was born in 1924. Players described it as the Stradivarius of trumpets. The Bach Stradivarius model was born. Then, in 1961, when Vincent turned 70, he turned down numerous high-paying offers in order to pass on his concept to future generations and entrusted the Bach factory to Selmer USA (now Conn-Selmer), with whom he had a long-standing relationship. Until his death in 1976, Vincent remained closely involved in Bach's instrument design and manufacturing, leaving behind thousands of detailed blueprints and manuals detailing the instruments he wanted to create in the future. To this day, Bach instruments remain the finest brass instruments, loved by players all over the world. TR600 Despite its affordable price, it is equipped with features comparable to higher-end models, such as 1.3 slide finger hooks and a non-corrosive Monel metal piston valve, and has a moderate and comfortable blowing feel, making it safe for beginners to use.
