The problem with 'good serial numbers' as a concept is that what constitutes a 'bad Bach', or 'a Bach' is so frequently mis-understood. Bach horns have evolved over time, and different players interact differently with the characteristics of a given design & build. It's like a relationship, you have to find a partner you fit with.

In 1918, with the investment of $300 for a foot-operated lathe, Vincent Bach went into the business of making mouthpieces. The business grew rapidly and in 1924, the first Bach trumpets were produced. Musicians frequently referred to a Bach trumpet as a real ‘Stradivarius’, thus inspiring the name Bach Stradivarius.

Bach Stradivarius Model 198 “Model 6” #0383
Part of a very limited edition of the Bach Stradivarius line, the series beginning in the year 2000, designed as a kind of replica patterned after the early Bach “New York” model (first in line of the Bach Strads) and before the Bach Mt. Vernon models. These original Bachs were first made in the factory (three different factories, beginning in 1919) in New York City before moving out to Mt. Vernon, NY (1953) and then being sold to Selmer and moving to Elkhart, Indiana in 1965. Read below (from www.bachloyalist.com)
“The limited edition Vintage Bach Stradivarius Model 6 trumpet actually dates back to the first quarter of the 20th century. During his lifetime, the noted musician and engineer Vincent Bach (1890-1976) researched and developed countless instrument designs. After much experimentation he built his first trumpet in 1924. While today the Bach model 180S37, based on the #37 bell flare and #25 lead pipe, stands as the world’s most popular trumpet, such was not the case during Vincent’s lifetime. In the period 1927-1930 Bach trumpets based on a #6 bell flare and #6 leadpipe were all the rage. Famous musicians such as Harry Glantz, George Mager, F.E. Olds, Elden Benge, and mouthpiece maker Frank Zottola at one time owned one of these Bach models. The Selmer Company pays tribute to this popular model by using it as the basis for its limited edition Vintage Bach Stradivarius trumpet. In recreating the 1930’s look, the Vintage will incorporate hex-style slide pull knobs and wider bracing than found on today’s standard models. A longer mouthpiece receiver embraces the Bach Mt. Vernon look. A handsome silver-plated finish with gold-plated trim and distinctive engraving will protect and adorn the instrument. Like all Bach Stradivarius trumpets the Vintage will feature on-piece bell construction. Hand hammering converts sheets of special brass into trumpet bells. Several times throughout the manufacturing process the bells are annealed in high temperature ovens to soften the metal and relieve stress. During the spinning state a piece of wire is place din to the bell rim. Lead soldering of the bell rim wire adds clarity to and solidifies the sound. Although a #6 bell might sound slightly brighter than a #37 due to the shape of the flare, use of a gold brass bell in the Vintage eliminates that edge. Gold brass contains a higher copper content than standard yellow brass, making the bell softer and dampening vibrations for a warmer tone quality. Based on the popular .459? medium-large bore, the Vintage will be comfortable to play and focus. Incorporation the #6 lead pipe, which generally feels slightly more restrictive than the standard #25 lead pipe that most of today’s musicians are used to, recreates the sound and feel of a popular 1930-era Bach trumpet. Utilizing a lightweight body and bell enhances the instrument’s quick response. Only 2,000 of this limited edition Bach trumpet (model number 198) will be built.”
This one is in excellent shape, relatively unused, almost looks like new; beautiful silver plate, with Gold top and and bottom caps, art deco engraving on bell, and a colorful design for the valve caps. Serviced and plays great! Collector’s item. $2200
