Hearkening back to Vincent Bach’s early 1920’s New York designs, Artisan mouthpieces combine the playability of Bach’s Classic inner cup dimensions with the softer rim designs and greater outside mass of his early mouthpieces. These mouthpieces come standard with a 24 backbore and a 27 throat. Both of these design elements significantly differentiate the response and sound clarity of the Artisan series from the Classic Series.
We innovated on the most consistent brass mouthpieces in the industry by making them lead-free.
Don't take the risk - it's better to play it safe with Bach mouthpieces.
