If Bach and Schilke are old-timers whose beliefs regardings the aerodynamic design of trumpets and mouthpieces are now obsolete and worthy of ridicule,
then why are the vintage trumpets and vintage mouthpieces that were personally designed and built by those 2 men still regarded as items of utmost quality and design that still command top prices?
If Bach didn't know what he was doing, then why are his vintage mouthpieces from 50 years ago selling for $200-$300, far more than new Bach mouthpieces that are "modern" design?
If Bach's mouthpiece theories have been disproven, then we should be throwing those "worthless" vintage Bach mouthpieces in the trash and buying the new Bach mouthpieces instead.
And those "worthless" vintage trumpets personally designed and built by Bach and Schilke should also be thrown into the trash since those trumpets were based on designs that "have been proven to be less reliable than weather reports".
