Vincent Bach combined his unique talents as both a musician and an engineer to create brass instruments of unequalled tonal quality. Often copied but never duplicated, Bach Stradivarius instruments today remain the sound choice of artists worldwide.
The Bach 42A is the most popular selling Bach Stradivarius symphonic trombone. It features an 8-1/2" one-piece hand-hammered yellow brass bell that has defined the symphonic sound for generations. The .547" large bore combined with the open wrap F attachment offers outstanding clarity and projection with less resistance. The chrome plated nickel silver inner hand-slide tubes provide the ideal surface for smooth and quick hand-slide action. The clear lacquer finish adds a subtle warmth to the sound overall.
Connected to the custom open F wrap is the TTB42 René Hagmann "Free Flow" valve that drastically improves the instrument response. The low register is freer-blowing, very homogeneous, centered yet lavish. The dedicated ergonomic exclusive lever is well protected by the attachment casing. Those items are manufactured in our Geneva workshop and fitted in Elkhart by the maker. We thank Vincent Bach for their sustained business over the last twenty years.
The Bach 42A professional Bb/F tenor trombone is ideal for both symphonic and solo performance. Still manufactured in the historical Elkhart, IN plant, it remains faithful to the legacy of its brilliant creator, Mr. Vincent Bach.
