Vincent Bach Trumpet Leadpipes
The first Bach trumpet has a number 2 (sn #14) leadpipe. I have seen different leadpipes on early New York Bach's like 2, 4, 6, 7 and 9 (4 and 7 on Bb M bore) later on 6 and 7 became more standard. For example on the Vintage Limited Edition 198 it has a 6 leadpipe.
At the end of the Bronx period and the beginning of the Mt. Vernon period the leadpipes (25,43) and bells (37,38 (M) and 43,72) became more the standard. The difficulty is that the markings on the bell and receiver are not there so it's only possible to verify the exact leadpipe and bell by shop cards.
This list of lead pipes summarizes the different leadpipe components in a simple list for easier comparisons. We are always looking for your feedback on your experiences with each of the bell, and leadpipe combinations. Email us through our "contact us" link on the header of each page.
Trumpet Lead Pipes
Bb Trumpet Lead Pipes
Lead Pipe Model Description
25 Std.
Some resistance, effective in centering or tying together tone production. Standard; The right leadpipe for most people
25-O Std. XL
Std. LT
More open and free-blowing, less restrictive than 25. Less resitance than the 25, but is not quite as free blowingt as the 43
6
Slightly more restrictive than 25. For those who want alot of resistance, the most restrictive leadpipe bach makes. Similar to the leadpipe found on the Yamaha "Z" trumpet. Helps with endurance.
7 Darker tone, more free-blowing than 25. Dark, similar to the 43, but not nearly as bright.
43
More open feeling with less resistance and more flexibility than 25. Brighter sound. A favorite for lead players. Very open and bright. Some people find that this "kills your chops" faster than the 25.
44
Brighter sounding than 43 for more flexible tone placement. Basically the 43 but slightly brighter. Material used is nickel silver or german silver, unlike the common yellow brass used in the std. leadpipes.
25LR Std. LR
Reversed construction, longer form of 25 with less resistance. Because it's reversed, its overall longer. Is is said to give little resistance, but alot players hate LR pipes.
43LR
Reversed construction, longer form of 43 with less resistance. Like the 25 LR but has even less resistance.
