Bachtopus, our beloved Bach-meets-octopus mascot, has been charming the Southwest Strings crew since 2024. Standing at a mighty 2.5 inches tall, this crocheted companion may be small, but his personality is larger than life.
A passionate traveler, Bachtopus has accompanied us to trade shows near and far, always ready for the next adventure. He’s also something of a fashion icon. Whether it’s a holiday, conference theme, or a particularly inspired Tuesday, Bachtopus never misses an opportunity to dress for the occasion. If you’ve visited us on the road, you may have already spotted one of his memorable looks.
To celebrate his ever-evolving style, we occasionally release limited-edition Bachtopus stickers featuring his latest outfits and escapades. Sticker drops are announced on Instagram, through email, and at events, so keep your eyes peeled. Inspiration can strike at any moment, and Bachtopus is always ready for his next costume change.
