Bach Stradivarius Professional Model Tenor Trombone Outfit - Gold Brass Bell, Lacquer (Shop Adjusted)
For sale is an absolute staple of the symphonic world: a pre-owned Bach Stradivarius 42G Professional Tenor Trombone. The Bach 42 has defined the modern American orchestral trombone sound for generations. We see a ton of these go to collegiate music majors, advancing high school students, and gigging professionals who need a reliable large-bore horn that provides massive resonance and carrying power.
This is a great option for players who want a deeply warm, dark tonal core. Because this specific model is a "42G," it features a gold brass bell, which gives the sound an incredibly complex and broad character that blends flawlessly in a section. This horn is built as a straight tenor (no F-attachment), making it slightly lighter and allowing for an incredibly pure, unresisted blow.
- Gold Brass Bell: The "G" designates an 8.5-inch, one-piece hand-hammered gold brass bell. The higher copper content produces a noticeably warmer, darker, and more velvety tone than standard yellow brass.
- Large Bore (.547"): The industry standard size for professional symphony work, allowing you to push massive volumes of air for unmatched dynamic flexibility and projection.
- Nickel Silver Inner Slide: Engineered for incredibly fast, smooth action and high resistance to wear and corrosion, ensuring years of trouble-free playing.
- The Fleming Setup: Even great used horns need a technician's touch. Our expert in-house staff has fully inspected, cleaned, and precision-adjusted this trombone to ensure the handslide is smooth and stage-ready.
Condition Report & Shop Prep
- Finish (Cosmetics): Good Player's Condition. The lacquer body shows some surface-level cosmetic lacquer loss and honest wear from regular use. It is structurally solid and still looks great from the audience's perspective.
- Body: Structurally Excellent. There are no major dents, dings, or signs of severe trauma to the instrument.
- Mechanics: Stage-Ready. The nickel silver inner slide moves free, easy, and smooth. It plays incredibly well right out of the box.
- Accessories: (Note to Wes: Please add if a case or mouthpiece is included here!)
