Bach Stradivarius Model 42BO Trigger Trombone - Open Wrap Workhorse
For sale is a professional-grade Bach Stradivarius Model 42BO Trombone that has earned its stripes. The horn has seen some honest play, including a marching season or two, and remains a fantastic professional instrument. Despite its cosmetic wear, the Open Wrap design ensures a free-blowing feel and the signature Bach sound is completely intact.
Who Is This Horn For?
This is the perfect instrument for a serious music student or professional who needs a reliable, top-tier horn and prioritizes performance over a pristine finish. It's an excellent choice for a second horn for outdoor gigs, pit work, or for a player who wants the 42BO's feel and tone at a great value.
The 42BO: Seasoned Performance
The Bach 42BO (Open Wrap) is the defining professional trombone, known for its powerful sound and excellent slide action. While this horn shows clear cosmetic wear, its core integrity and professional performance are unaffected.
What makes the 42BO a professional choice:
- Open Wrap F-Attachment: This key feature provides the least resistance in the F-attachment tubing, resulting in a more open, free-blowing feel and better projection when the trigger is engaged—a major advantage for a working professional.
- Signature Sound: The 8.5-inch bell of the 42 series ensures a wonderfully rich, full-bodied tone that excels in any setting, from orchestral to big band.
- Structurally Solid: Crucially, there is no major dent work noticeable, meaning the primary acoustic components are straight and true, ensuring the superb Bach intonation and feel remain intact.
