Bach 6 3/4C Mouthpiece Question

Post by Driswood »

Does anyone know when Bach started making the 6 3/4C mouthpiece?
I’m assuming after the Elkhart move, since I’ve never seen one from Mt Vernon.

There are a few Mount Vernons around.

Alex Iles famously uses one; The Schilke Iles is based off of it.

Forum member ngrinder has at least one. It's a very rare bird though. The ones from the corp era with no period are also very rare.

The 6 3/4 C (along with the 4C) was originally aimed at symphony players who wanted a brilliant sound. Yes, such players did exist in the not too distant past. But, that being a fairly small target market, relatively few of them were produced. Nowadays, with the preference towards larger mouthpieces, a mouthpiece like the 6 3/4 has a much wider appeal.
