This trumpet was produced during the period when Bach instruments were being manufactured in Elkhart, Indiana, following the company’s relocation from Mount Vernon, New York.

Vincent Bach sold his company to Selmer in 1961, and production began at the Elkhart facility in 1965.

A trumpet from approximately 1970–1971 is therefore an early Elkhart-era instrument.

These trumpets are now vintage professional instruments. Their individual playing characteristics and market values depend heavily on condition, originality, and maintenance history.

It is worth distinguishing this instrument from a Mount Vernon Bach: serial number 51641 indicates an Elkhart-era trumpet, not a Mount Vernon instrument.
