Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is a Bach 7 good for a beginner?
Yes. It sits mid-range in cup depth and rim size, which is why it works as a starting point and as a reference when you later compare other sizes.
02Will this fit my trumpet?
No. French horn shanks are a different diameter and length entirely. It will not seat in a trumpet, cornet, or any other brass receiver.
03Is a larger or smaller number a bigger mouthpiece?
Lower numbers are larger. A Bach 7 is smaller than a 3 and larger than a 12.
04How do I clean it?
Warm water and a mouthpiece brush. Avoid harsh solvents or dishwashers, which can dull the plating over time.
