Description
Nice playing vintage Bach large bore 7-10 = Hybrid Bell combining both mandrels;
62 = 0.462 Bore also has a 45 bell code and a #6 Leadpipe.
The mechanics are all good but it has a few dents, dings and scratches. Looks like a fairly recent overhaul but
I think a competent repairman could remove the dents and give it a good bath and this horn would be a terrific player.
the numerical codes found on the bells of New York Bach trumpets and cornets are artificial gauge numbers invented by Bach. They are the first two digits of the brass thickness when converted to millimeters. Based on a limited survey of instruments, there are three gauge numbers most often found on older Bach Bb trumpets and cornets. They are 45, 48 and 50, which would correspond to brass thicknesses of 0.018, 0.019 and 0.020 inches, respectively.
Since the Bell Number-Bore Size stamping arrangement began in the early 1930s, all of the instruments that used it were produced at Bach’s third factory located in the Bronx at 621 East 216th Street, NY. That factory endured from October 1928 until 1953 when Bach opened his last factory in Mt Vernon, NY, although this marking arrangement did not.
Comes with a non original Bach Case (But I do have some NY Casee from this era) And some Bach NY Mouthieces mostly in small diameters
