Product Overview
The 6-1/2AL mouthpiece represents Bach's commitment to creating specialized instruments that serve specific tonal traditions and musical styles, incorporating the same proven rim and cup design as the renowned 6-1/2A model with enhanced "G" throat and #420 backbore specifications for distinctive Teutonic sound production. The medium-deep cup with 25.40mm diameter provides optimal resonance and projection characteristics, while the 0.261-inch "G" throat works in harmony with the specialized backbore to deliver the rounded, mellow tone quality that defines German brass performance tradition. This design continues the legacy established by Vincent "Bach" Schrotenbach, whose innovative vision has influenced generations of brass performers worldwide.
