Vintage Mt. Vernon Bach 2-1/2C Trumpet Mouthpiece – #26 Bore

A fine example of Vincent Bach's celebrated Mt. Vernon craftsmanship, this vintage Bach 2-1/2C trumpet mouthpiece dates to the highly regarded Mt. Vernon production era, approximately 1953–1964. Mouthpieces from this period are prized by collectors and performing artists for their distinctive playing characteristics, meticulous craftsmanship, and connection to one of the most influential periods in Bach's history.

The Bach 2-1/2C features a medium-depth C cup and a generous diameter, offering a rich, full-bodied sound with excellent tonal flexibility. Positioned between the larger Bach 2C and the slightly smaller 3C, the 2-1/2C provides a comfortable balance of breadth, responsiveness, and control. Its versatile design makes it an appealing choice for orchestral, chamber, and solo performance, particularly for artists seeking the tonal character of a larger mouthpiece without moving to a full-size Bach 2C.

This example features a #26 bore and remains in good vintage condition. A few small dings are present along the outer contour of the rim, consistent with its age and use. These cosmetic imperfections should be considered by artists who are particularly sensitive to rim condition.
