What inspired you to play music?Passion for music was part of my family when I was growing up. Many of my relatives were playing in the local wind band in my hometown. I didn’t choose to play; my father wanted me to play. I learned to like it, and now I cannot imagine my life without music.

When do you think is the right time for a student to consider upgrading their instrument?Every student knows when something clicks in their brain – when they discover a new love for what they’re doing. Buying a new instrument for a student is not like buying soccer shoes or a fishing pole. In those cases, if the passion vanishes in a couple of months, no one has lost a great deal of money. In the case of a new musical instrument, people want to be sure that the moment is right for making that big investment. I think that sometimes it’s good to take that risk. I still remember when my parents bought me a new trombone – a Bach 42. It cost my father three times his salary. I was twelve years old, and knowing the significance of my father’s investment made me very responsible and respectful of his sacrifice and the care he had for my future.

Often, we see students buy an upgraded instrument, without a better mouthpiece. What do you recommend?My recommendation is that if you change from a small bore trombone to a large bore trombone, you must get a Bach 5G mouthpiece with a large shank. You can play your entire career on this mouthpiece.

Many students do not pursue music in college or as a professional. How can an upgraded instrument benefit a middle or high school student now?I would like to say that to have an instrument with dents is not good, especially if dents are in the slide or in the curves. To have an instrument with bad lacquer can create allergies for the player. An instrument that is not clean inside is not good. Bach has a wonderful line of instruments for the young player. These instruments are affordable. Having an instrument of good quality, such as the Bach 42BO (p. 20), will benefit the student’s development and enjoyment of playing.

LA ROSA AND MUSIC & ARTS CONGRATULATE BACH ON 50 YEARS OF SUPERIOR CRAFTSMANSHIP IN ELKHART, INDIANAThe year 2015 marks an important milestone in the history of Vincent Bach manufacturing. In 1965, Bach manufacturing was moved from Mount Vernon, New York to Elkhart, Indiana where it has remained to this day. Since the late 1800’s, Elkhart has been considered the birthplace of school bands in the US and quickly became known as the band instrument capital of the world. With its home in Elkhart for the past 50 years, Vincent Bach has carried on the time honored tradition of producing the highest quality brass instruments in the industry.
