Mt. Vernon Bach 1C Cornet Mouthpiece - Boyde Hood Collection

Vincent Bach Mt. Vernon 1C Cornet Mouthpiece From the renowned Boyde Hood Collection comes this exceptional Vincent Bach Mt. Vernon 1C Cornet mouthpiece, a scarce and highly desirable example from the golden era of Bach mouthpiece production. The 1C is among the largest models in the Bach cornet lineup, offering a full, expansive sound with tremendous breadth and depth. Combined with the distinctive characteristics of Mt. Vernon-era production, this mouthpiece delivers the rich tonal complexity and playing feel that have made these vintage pieces so sought after by performers and collectors alike. This example is in excellent condition and has been remarkably well preserved. The rim is nearly spotless, showing only the faintest evidence of use, while the shank exhibits very minor wear consistent with careful handling over its lifetime. The engraving remains crisp and well defined, presenting beautifully for both the collector and player. The throat measures as a loose #28, very close to a #27, suggesting the mouthpiece remains essentially in its original configuration and has not been significantly opened. Original throats are increasingly uncommon among vintage Bach mouthpieces, making this an especially attractive example for collectors seeking authenticity. A rare opportunity to acquire a premium Mt. Vernon cornet mouthpiece in outstanding condition from one of the most respected private collections in the brass world.
