The 42BO: Open Feel and Guaranteed Performance

The Bach 42BO is the professional standard, celebrated for its versatility and powerful sound. Despite its cosmetic history, the integrity of the valve section and slide is what matters most—and we guarantee its mechanical performance.

What makes this horn a great workhorse:

  • Open Wrap F-Attachment: The Open Wrap design minimizes resistance, providing a free-blowing feel in the low register that is preferred by most contemporary players.

  • Classic Bach Tone: The 8 1/2-inch Yellow Brass Bell and .547-inch Large Bore deliver the versatile, rich, and powerful tone that has made the 42 series the industry benchmark.

  • Mechanically Certified: The horn has been fully adjusted and maintained here in the shop, ensuring the slide is fast, the rotor is quiet, and the intonation is accurate.
