New York Bach 2-1/2C Trumpet Mouthpiece - Boyde Hood Collection

Bach New York 2-1/2C Trumpet Mouthpiece From the Boyde Hood Collection A vintage Bach New York 2-1/2C trumpet mouthpiece from the Boyde Hood Collection, offered in excellent condition. The 2-1/2C is a classic larger Bach trumpet mouthpiece size, with a 16.40 mm diameter and medium C cup. It offers a focused, brilliant sound with a slightly more compact feel than the 2C, making it an appealing choice for artists who want room in the setup without moving into the very large orchestral sizes. This New York example comes from an important period in Vincent Bach production, before the company’s move to Mt. Vernon. These early Bach mouthpieces carry a particular collector and player appeal, with design characteristics that helped define the modern trumpet mouthpiece. The bore has been altered to a #26, giving this piece a more open feel than the standard setup while still retaining the clarity and center associated with the 2-1/2C design. This mouthpiece is in excellent vintage condition. As part of the Boyde Hood Collection, it carries provenance from the holdings of one of the great Los Angeles Philharmonic trumpet artists. A fine vintage New York Bach 2-1/2C with excellent condition, professional lineage, and an altered #26 bore for a more open response.
