Vincent Bach Corp 7C Trumpet Mouthpiece - Mount Vernon Tooling

This is a somewhat rare Vincent Bach Corp 7C Trumpet Mouthpiece. Corp with no dot indicates that this mouthpiece was produced during the transitional period to Elkhart, where they used the same Mount Vernon tooling. This mouthpiece is identical to one that would have been made in the fabled Mount Vernon period, simply with different stampings.

Grade B+ “A lightly used mouthpiece bearing only minor dings or dents which do not affect playability. May have minor scratches and moderate insertion marks. Plating is 95%+ intact with only minor wear primarily on the shank. In the case of gold plating, plating is only slightly fading. Tarnish may be present. Mouthpiece shows only minor signs of shank repair, if any. Shank is perfectly round. No signs of other repairs.” 

From BachLoyalist: “Probably the most widely used model in the world. Its brilliant tone is preferred by school musicians and by artists. Similar to No. 7 and No. 7B but with a medium-shallow C trumpet cup; more brilliant tone, easier high register, large volume of tone. Excellent for light symphonic work, dance, and all-round playing. Well liked by beginners.”
