Hard to say how consistent Bach's raw brass would have been. I doubt it he would have been buying brass in large enough quantities to get it direct from a mill, so he would have been buying it from a distributor. He'd get whatever they had in the warehouse that met the standard spec for chemistry and temper.

Perhaps he was marinating the mouthpiece in coffee to enhance its molecular structure?

Might make it play with more "esprit!" :idk:

To my understanding, that's not the way the non-CNC method works...

Though I should also point out, there are things called tracer lathes...

All very good factual information that I will pass on to the "speculators". Thanks to all for sharing your knowledge.
