The old Bach's

a marching trumpet · 02-12-2009, 10:24 PM

I have a 76 strad mint condition etc, and its very good and Ive been told that was back when a "Bach was a Bach" so to say. So what were the "hayday years" generalization.

Anything that hasn't been made recently

Some people say that the early elkhart were the best, some say the mount vernon era, some say the new york ones

The hayday of Bach was whenever they made a great horn. They made some fantastic horns in NY, Mt. Vernon, and Elkhart...
What model is yours?

Mines a 1976 model 37 strad, it was made in elkhart, i dont know what it qualifies as but... thats it

Was just talkin to the repair guy here and he said a Bach over 20 years old is a good one current production has quality control issues
Dont know if this is accurate

If it plays it plays, no matter when it was made. There are certainly good ones and bad ones, but I don't buy the idea that you can tell by the year it was made. I've played new ones that are good and Mt. Vernons that were dogs! If you like your horn, that's what matters!

Brass crusader · 02-17-2009, 08:48 PM

Well, there's bound to be bad horns from every era, I played a beautiful-looking NY 7, that was a terrible player, I also played two Mt. Vernons, same deal. However, I've also played NY and Mt. Vernon and Elkhart horns that are fantastic. In fact, I just got my hands on a '73 ML 37, it needs some work, but could be a very nice horn.

I also have a '76 bach Strad, a ML 43. I've played it for over 20 years now, and it's a great horn (still in great condition. too).

Wow that is a pretty horn, looks exactly like mine, condition wise of course.
