Vincent Bach was a rare combination of artist and engineer. He constantly changed his mouthpieces in search of the perfect design. It wasn't until the mid 1960's that he stopped and finally settled on more standardized design. This created the standard for mouthpiece making that is still used today. These standards are now known as the Classic Series. Bach Classic Mouthpieces are the most played mouthpieces in the world by students, amateurs and professionals!

With the exception of the “junior” mouthpieces, Nos. 30E and 32E, Bach tuba mouthpieces can be used equally well on BBb and Eb tuba. There is no good reason for making mouthpieces for Eb tuba any smaller or shallower, because a player using an Eb tuba actually transposes a fourth and uses the instrument in the lower register, for which a larger-sized mouthpiece is to be given preference. Nos. 7, 18, 24W and 24AW have larger backbores.
