Here's a hot-rodded Strad that's worked well in all situations for me: serial 134xxx, ( about 1977), 43* bell / 43 leadpipe, Curry brass valve buttons, stems, and heavy caps, ( or stock, depending on the desired level of darkness), Kanstul adjustable bell brace, Amado water key. Either way everyone here on this thread would like to know. This also serves as a chance for those proud Bach owners to come out and say how much they like there horns. Maybe with the results, we can estimate a period where they had a better staff than others.

I certainly agree that it depends TOTALLY on who assembles the horn. wouldn't trade it for anything.Ĭ= 510*** nice horn. So the parts are there, ready to be turned into great horns.if the company decides that that is what they are interested in doing.īb= 315*** great horn. It could also be a question of having to work fast, since there might be quotas to fulfill. They might not understand, or care how the horns should be put together, as long as they look good. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the people putting the horns together are factory workers, not musicians. The parts are all the same, but the way those parts are put together differs. That, in a nutshell, is what determines how a Bach is going to come off of the assembly line.

It's not so much the serial numbers, but rather, the guy(s) that put the horn together. orginially stuffy - replaced Leadpipe w/ Blackburn.still a little stuffy. okay horn, not as good as my present one). *** Contemplating a PVA for both of the above to see if that turns them into GREAT horns *** Any comments?īb - early 70's ML 43. I wonder who has it now?īb - 423xxx - good horn (all standard except the 'O' ring on 1st slide)Ĭ - 347xxx - (Lg bore) nice horn ((all standard except the 'O' ring on 1st slide, after market 25S lead pipe)

I sold a Bach 37 a few years ago To John Lynch.he re-sold it after going over it a bit.īb # 126951.
