Bach used simple note cards for his shop card records of each horn. in about 1926 Bach started to standardize on the information includes. During the years, the same basic information was recorded, however the format slightly changed through the years. Shop cards are generally available through the 30,XXX serial number range.
If you contact Conn-Selmer customer service in Elkhart, IN and politely request a copy of the shop card they are most often willing to fax, email to you. (Kudos for Conn-Selmer to continue to information on the heritage of these Vincent Bach Corporation brass instruments)
