Thank you for viewing. This is a Bach mouthpiece, a standard manufacturer. The engraving reads: VINCENT BACH CORP 12C. This mouthpiece was manufactured in Elkhart after 1965. Bach is a mouthpiece that has a strong following and serves as a model for mouthpiece makers. It has some wear, but comes with the original paper box. It has been opened for photography, but is otherwise unopened. There are minor scratches, but there are no major scratches or dents that would interfere with playing. Please refrain from comments asking for a price reduction. Immediate purchase is OK. If you are interested in used or new mouthpieces, please search for Net Brass. net-brass.com
