Born in Germany in 1880 and trained in the instrument-making center of Markneukirchen, Geyer immigrated to Chicago in 1904 and opened his own workshop in 1920, where he built some of the finest horns of the era.

The project can be traced to the early 1940s, in Vincent Bach's personal workshop in New York, where he began designing a professional French horn in response to requests for an instrument bearing the Stradivarius name. Between approximately \u003cstrong\u003e1942 and 1945\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the Bach factory was largely occupied with military trumpet and trombone orders during World War II, Vincent Bach developed and engineered several French horn designs, including a professional double in a Schmidt-style wrap, and single with stopping valve. His brother Hans J. Bach and his son Hans Vincent Bach were also involved in this development work. Hans Vincent, then studying mechanical engineering at Northeastern University, worked at his uncle's Bronx factory in 1942 and was tasked with translating Vincent Bach's designs into formal engineering drawings. Those original French horn blueprints are preserved in the Vincent Bach archives in Elkhart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe horns from this period remained experimental prototypes and never entered regular production. While they were assigned a serial number in the 3 digit range, this does not follow the production sequence in the 4 digit range by this time, and the Conn-Selmer company has confirmed that no shop cards exist like sold production models. \u003cstrong\u003eOnly 3 surviving horn protoypes are known to exist\u003c\/strong\u003e, with one other double owned by a Vincent Bach collector, which was photographed with the one surviving single prototype for a 1976 \u003cem\u003eSelmer Bandwagon\u003c\/em\u003e tribute to Vincent Bach following his death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese early Bach Stradivarius prototype horns\u003cstrong\u003e, made by Vincent Bach himself within his personal workshop, should not be confused with other Bach-branded French horns\u003c\/strong\u003e offered at various times by Selmer, King, and Conn. In the 1960s, the H \u0026amp; A Selmer Co bought the Bach company and moved production to Elkhart, Indiana, and Vincent Bach consulted to design french horns for this large factory's production line. By the early 1980s, the Bach Stradivarius Double French Horn and Selmer 77 Double French Horn had been introduced, and discontinued shortly after in favor of the Conn models still made today. Other Bach horns are mass-produced instruments carrying the Bach name, built four decades after with a totally different design and quality, rather than the professional Stradivarius prototypes made by the Vincent Bach.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout This Horn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis instrument is one of the rare surviving examples associated with Vincent Bach's early French horn development, and displays a fascinating construction of Bach parts and Vincent Bach's personal fabrication.\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eThe slides are characteristic of Bach construction, including the New York era's hexagonal slide braces, diamond style braces within the corpus, rolled slide ends, and longer slide ferrules. The 3rd Bb slide features a separate end slide, shared with his trumpet design, so tuning is not lost when the slide is removed to empty water. The valve section uses a traditional Schmidt-style arrangement, a European horn design that was established by the CF Schmidt brand within the United States, and the most popular style at the time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike Carl Geyer, who built the CF Schmidt horns with parts from Wunderlich Germany, and later his Geyer wrap horns with rotors from Marston in the US, Bach also built this horn around a premium supplier's rotary valves. It is not confirmed who this supplier was, but the top bearing plates are stamped with 2-digit production numbers like German makers, and it is confirmed that Bach used Marston rotors for his Bass trombones made in New York, so either is the likely source. The leadpipe reciever is similar to Conn and Buescher instruments of this era, potentially sourced from them or recreated by Bach. Apart from these rotor mechanics and parts, the construction is entirely handmade and assembled by Vincent Bach, including the rounded nickel-silver knuckles between each rotor, slide tubing with rolled ends, slide ferrules, and the piston assembly. Notably, Vincent Bach improved the ergonomics by shortening the distance between the rotor levers and piston, and also fabricating a thumb lever for the piston-actuated trigger, using a trumpet finger button and leadpipe pinky hook.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bell provides another unusual clue to the horn's origins, with characteristics shared on all the prototype horns. Rather than the uniform stamped engraving normally encountered on production Bach instruments, the bell logo and model is engraved by hand. Variations in line depth, alignment, and overlapping corners are visible throughout the lettering. Hand engraving would also have been practical on a completed prototype bell, whereas mechanically stamping a bell typically requires internal support from mandrels that weren't developed yet for production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn additional \"617A\" marking remains unidentified. It does not correspond with a known Bach factory address, and may instead represent an internal production, component, drawing, or invoice designation.\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eTaken together, these features make the horn particularly interesting as an experimental instrument rather than a conventional production model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vincent Bach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stradivarius, Prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e New York circa 1942-45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstrument:\u003c\/strong\u003e F\/Bb Double French Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Schmidt style wrap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValves:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rotary valves with change\/piston valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBell:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand Engraved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Relacquered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e As-Is\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Experimental Prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eCondition \u0026amp; Evaluation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe instrument has undergone a previous cosmetic restoration, including removing most dents and relacquering, with minimal buffing to preserve the original metal thickness and engraving.

During our inspection, we both vacuum tested (Magnahelic system) and pressure tested (underwater air system), which identified 3 ferrule joints with minor leaks, and confirmed overall compression is low; as expected for a nearly 100 year old instrument. While the majority of the rotors are within used spec, the 3rd rotor and piston have the loosest tolerances, and could benefit from a rebuild. Our horn specialists also playtested the instrument, and noted that intonation is not up to professional standards, but is playable and all slides and rotors move.

These are the thoughts that were shared by our staff:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a professional C trumpet with all the bells and whistles, pun intended! Made by the Getzen-Edwards custom workshop, it features a modular construction, so that the included 2 bells (rare factory upgrade) can be interchanged depending on your desired tone or playing style, along with 2 main tuning slides to dial in flexibility and tambre. It also features thier gold trim package (rare factory upgrade) including gold-plated valve caps, finger buttons, and inside of both bell flares. Is is handbuilt around some of the best valves in the business, with the premium two-piece valve casing, slides, and braces shared with Edwards models. It is in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition, minus a spot of silver pitting on the Standard main tuning slide, and minor scratches overall. Includes a Yamaha double case that fits all modular components well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis specific early Edwards Custom model was made alongside the Edwards Generation series, with truly custom-level features no longer offered, especially at this price from any brand. Getzen and Edwards have since reverted to standard non-modular construction for current models, splitting into many different models to achieve these features:\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eThe C2 \"Orchestral\" bell is similar to the Bach 229 or Yamaha YS bell, with a gradual, traditional bell taper, and produces a focused and rich tone.\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eThe C1 \"Chamber\" bell is similar to the Bach 239 and Yamaha YM bell, with a slightly steeper, wider bell taper, and produces a lighter and vibrant tone.\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eThe \"Standard\" main tuning slide is made with a straight 0.462\" bore, the standard of C trumpets.\u003cbr aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003eThe \"Dual Bore\" main tuning slide grows from 0.462\" in the top tube to 0.464\" on the bottom tube. This produces more flexible slotting and a wider dynamic range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Professional, Modular bell system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBell: 2 Interchangeable; 1 Orchestral style and 1 Chamber style, in 21 gauge Yellow Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain Tuning Slide: 2 interchangable; 1 Standard bore and 1 Dual Bore, in Yellow Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBore: 0.462\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValves: 2-Piece casing, Hand-lapped Nickel pistons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlides: Nickel outer and Yellow Brass inner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy wall brass mouthpipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Silver Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Yamaha double\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour investment is protected with the Houghton Horns Used Instrument Warranty.
