Product Overview
The large shank 6 1/2AL mouthpiece represents Bach's commitment to creating specialized instruments that serve the unique demands of large bore brass instruments while delivering authentic Teutonic sound characteristics. The medium-deep cup with 25.40mm diameter provides optimal resonance and projection for larger instruments, while the 0.261-inch "G" throat works in harmony with the #420 backbore to deliver the rounded, mellow tone quality that defines German brass performance tradition. This design continues the innovative legacy established by Vincent "Bach" Schrotenbach, whose vision has influenced generations of professional brass performers worldwide.
The gold-plated rim and cup offer significant advantages for players with silver allergies while providing the smooth, luxurious feel that enhances comfort during extended performance sessions typical of large bore instrument repertoire. The medium-wide, well-rounded rim design delivers exceptional comfort and security for the player's embouchure, allowing for excellent control and accuracy of articulation while improving endurance during demanding orchestral and solo performance. The large shank configuration ensures proper fit and optimal acoustic coupling with large bore tenor trombones, bass trombones, and euphoniums.
The specialized throat and backbore configuration creates acoustic properties specifically designed for musicians who require strong fundamental tone and carrying power that blends beautifully with orchestral and wind ensemble textures.
