Hi there,

I have this Vincent Bach American Style Baritone and I don't know anything about it. Hoping to learn more about it? All I know is Bach had the patent for it? No one seems to know things about this instrument, help?

Thanks a lot,

Yes, but that's all I've ever seen about this instrument. <EMOJI seq="1f937" tseq="1f937">🤷</EMOJI>

From what I've heard, Bach (i.e., Selmer USA at the time) purchased the tooling for tubas, sousaphones, baritones, and marching brass from Olds when the Fullerton plant shut down in 1979.

JohnL is on it. I own a Vincent Bach Mercedes Bb Tuba which is just an Olds O-99 with a big Bach stamp on the bell.
