This Bach 6 1/2AL large shank trombone mouthpiece is a well-preserved example from the Corporation Era, offered in excellent condition. It has been professionally cleaned and polished, with strong original plating and no signs of heavy use. The shank, rim, and cup are all clean, round, and free of damage, making this a true player-ready mouthpiece.
Manufactured at the Elkhart factory between approximately 1963 and the late 1970s, this mouthpiece was produced using traditional lathe-based methods rather than modern CNC machining. Many players and collectors prefer these vintage Bach mouthpieces for their subtle variations in feel and response, which reflect older production techniques and hands-on craftsmanship.
The 6 1/2AL remains one of Bach’s most widely used designs, known for its balanced rim profile, versatile cup depth, and comfortable response across a wide range of playing styles. This Corporation-era example is an excellent choice for players seeking a classic Bach feel or collectors looking to add a clean vintage mouthpiece to their setup.
