Pre-Owned Bach Stradivarius Model 42BO Tenor Trombone - Open Wrap
For sale is a classic Pre-Owned Bach Stradivarius Model 42BO Tenor Trombone, the undisputed industry standard for symphonic and wind ensemble playing. This is the highly desirable Open Wrap version of the legendary Model 42, designed to offer a freer-blowing experience in the trigger register while maintaining the dense, colorful core sound that Bach is famous for. If you are looking for the definitive professional trombone sound, this horn delivers it in spades.
This is the ideal choice for the advancing high school student, collegiate trombonist, or working professional. The Bach 42BO is widely considered the "gold standard" for orchestral and concert band work. If you are a student currently playing on an intermediate horn or a closed-wrap model, upgrading to a 42BO will immediately open up your sound and provide the dynamic range needed for All-State auditions and advanced repertoire.
The "Open Wrap" Advantage (Model 42BO)
- Open F-Attachment Wrap: Unlike the traditional "closed wrap" (which has multiple sharp bends in the tubing), the "O" design features fewer bends and a straighter airflow path. This results in significantly less resistance when the trigger is engaged, making the low register feel consistent with the open horn.
- One-Piece Hand-Hammered Bell: This instrument features the iconic 8.5" Yellow Brass Bell, which provides a broad, warm, and projecting sound that can effortlessly fill a concert hall.
- Large Bore Power: With a .547" Large Bore, this trombone accepts a large shank mouthpiece and allows for a massive volume of air, giving the player incredible power and depth of tone.
Condition Report
- Finish: Clear Lacquer. The finish is in classic player's condition, showing standard signs of use but maintaining a great overall look.
- Body: Structurally Sound. There is no major damage or trauma to the tubing. The bell is straight and the slide tubes are in great shape.
- Mechanics: The slide action is smooth, responsive, and ready for fast technical passages. The traditional Rotor Valve has been serviced by our in-house technicians to ensure a quiet, airtight seal and fast action.
