Bach Stradivarius 42BO Professional Trombone - Open Wrap
For sale is a pre-owned Bach Stradivarius Model 42BO Tenor Trombone, the industry standard for symphonic performance. This instrument features the Open Wrap F-Attachment, which provides a freer-blowing feel and less resistance than the traditional closed wrap. This specific horn is in Great Condition, featuring a beautiful body with only minor cosmetic imperfections, making it an excellent choice for the advancing student or professional.
This is the "Gold Standard" step-up instrument. It is the number one recommendation from band directors for high school students moving into symphonic band or orchestra. It provides the massive, complex sound that only a Bach Elkhart bell can deliver.
The Standard 42BO Configuration
This instrument features the classic specs that define the "Bach Sound."
- 8.5" One-Piece Bell: The hand-hammered yellow brass bell offers a broad, warm tone with incredible projection. It can handle the loudest fortissimos without breaking up.
- Open Wrap (BO): The F-attachment tubing features fewer sharp bends than the traditional wrap. This allows for a more open, unrestricted airflow when using the trigger, matching the feel of the open horn more closely.
- Standard Rotary Valve: Features the traditional Bach mechanical linkage and rotary valve, known for durability and a familiar, articulate response.
Condition Report
- Body: The main body and bell section are in Great Condition. The lacquer is vibrant and largely intact, looking fantastic from the stage. There are a few minor body dents consistent with normal use, but nothing that affects the resonance.
- Slide: The handslide shows visible lacquer wear throughout (acid bleed/contact wear), which is very common on Bach trombones. Note: This is purely cosmetic. The inner slide tubes are clean, and the action is smooth and ready for performance.
- Setup: Our shop has inspected the valve and aligned the slide to ensure it plays at a professional level.
