Bach 1 1/2C with a Star symbol on it - what does this mean?

John Mohan

Hi there,

I came across a Bach 1 1/2C trumpet mouthpiece with a little Star Symbol stamped on it right after the size ( 1 1/2C) stamp.

Anyone know what this refers to?

Thanks,

John

Did you check the rest of the mouthpiece for another star with text? Maybe that's meant to be some type of catch.

Can't answer your question fully. On my old Bach 7DW, there was an apostraphe before Vince's first name. Probably a misprint in my case, but I do recall strange stamps on mouthpieces that were modified in various ways at the factory to denote a custom job. I'm sketchy on the details, but I've seen several on ebay in the past.
