Pre-Owned Bach 42BO Professional Tenor Trombone - Open Wrap, Clear Lacquer
For sale is another reliable staple of the symphonic world: a Pre-Owned Bach 42BO Professional Tenor Trombone, serial number 165792. Vincent Bach large-bore trombones have defined the American orchestral sound for decades. We sell a ton of these to local students who are stepping up to their first professional-level horn because band directors trust them implicitly.
This is a great option for advancing high school students, collegiate music majors, or gigging orchestral players. The large .547" bore requires a solid, mature airstream, but it rewards you with a massive, warm tone that blends perfectly into a section.
The 42BO
- Open-Wrap F Attachment: The "O" in the name stands for an open-wrap tubing design on the F-attachment. This setup removes the tight bends found in traditional closed wraps, giving you a much more open, free-blowing low register with less resistance.
- The 42 Bell: Features the classic 8.5-inch, one-piece hand-hammered yellow brass bell. It provides a rich, broad tonal core with reliable projection.
- Large Bore (.547"): The standard size for professional symphony work, allowing for plenty of resonance and dynamic flexibility.
Condition Report & Shop Prep
- Finish (Cosmetics): Good Player's Condition. This trombone shows some honest wear from regular use. The clear lacquer is fully intact across most of the horn, but there is some minor acid bleed around the main tuning slide, as well as some small lacquer wear around the bell rim and the common touch points. It is structurally solid and still looks great.
- Body: Structurally Solid. There are no major dents or signs of severe trauma.
- Mechanics: Stage-Ready. The rotor valve is tight and smooth, and the handslide moves freely. Our expert in-house technicians have fully inspected, cleaned, and adjusted this trombone to ensure it plays great right out of the box.
- Accessories: Includes the original Bach brown hard/canvas case.
