Hey, Brass Fans!
Here’s a super cool find from an early Elkhart Bach cornet. You all know how I love old case candy, and this bunch was super fun and in great shape. It included a Bach mouthpiece catalog, Bach lubricant brochure, and Humes & Berg brochure with lots of vintage photos of packaging and products. One of our favorites was the clarinet practice box - we all got a good laugh out of that!
Wishing you some fun finds in your day!
