The History of Bach

Combining his expertise as an engineer with his experience as a performer in military ensembles, symphony orchestras, and as a soloist, Vincent Bach merged technical precision with the soul of a musician to create something extraordinary: the Bach sound. Founded in 1918, his company began as a personal pursuit to craft the perfect instrument, one that would meet the exacting standards of professional brass players. That pursuit of perfection defined the brand's identity, blending science and artistry to achieve unparalleled intonation, balance, and tonal beauty.

In 1928, Bach introduced the first Bach trombone, which quickly became a global standard for orchestral, jazz, and solo performance thanks to its impeccable intonation, playability, and commanding voice. By 1965, production had moved to Elkhart, Indiana, where expert artisans continue to handcraft every instrument to the same uncompromising standards. Celebrated by performers in classrooms, concert halls, studios, and stages around the world, Bach trombones deliver the versatility and refinement musicians demand. This is the Bach tradition, timeless, unmatched in craftsmanship, and the true standard of excellence in brass.
