Pre-Owned Bach Stradivarius 42BO Professional Tenor Trombone - Open Wrap
The Bach Stradivarius 42BO is a legendary American symphonic trombone, and this pre-owned model delivers the massive, broad tonal core the 42 series is famous for. Priced at $2,100, it is an ideal workhorse for advancing collegiate students, gigging professionals, and orchestral players looking for a world-class instrument with a remarkably unrestrictive low register.
Key Features
-
Open Wrap F-Attachment: The "O" in 42BO designates the open wrap design, which minimizes sharp bends in the tubing. This results in a remarkably free-blowing response and consistent feel when engaging the trigger, perfect for heavy orchestral literature.
-
Yellow Brass Bell: Features the iconic 8.5-inch, one-piece, hand-hammered yellow brass bell. It provides a brilliant, projecting core with a beautifully balanced overtone series that can soar over a full ensemble or blend seamlessly in a section.
-
Large Bore Handslide: Equipped with a .547" large bore handslide, allowing for massive air volume, thick resonance, and a highly centered, powerful response across all dynamic levels.
-
Classic Stradivarius Design: Built with the timeless acoustic architecture that has made Bach Stradivarius the undisputed standard in American orchestras for decades.
Condition & Shop Inspection
-
Cosmetics: Great Player's Condition. This trombone has seen active use and shows honest, standard cosmetic wear. You will find common finish wear around the normal touch points (neckpipe, slide grip), but there is nothing out of the ordinary. It remains a fantastic-looking, structurally solid stage horn.
-
Mechanics: Bench-Tested & Ready. Our in-house master technicians have gone through this horn top to bottom. The handslide is smooth and quick, the rotary valve is lightning-fast, and all tuning slides pull freely. It is 100% gig-ready right out of the case.
-
Accessories: Includes a protective hard case to ensure safe shipping and transport.
