The Bach 42B Stradivarius is a legendary professional tenor trombone, revered by orchestral musicians and soloists alike for its rich tone, responsive feel, and exceptional craftsmanship. Designed for serious players who demand precision and power, the 42B delivers a commanding presence in any performance setting.
The defining feature of the 42B is its large .547" bore, which provides a broad, open sound with excellent projection and tonal depth. The 8.5" one-piece, hand-hammered yellow brass bell enhances resonance and warmth, making it ideal for blending in ensembles or standing out in solo passages. Whether you're performing Mahler in a concert hall or navigating intricate passages in a pit orchestra, the 42B offers the versatility and control you need.
The traditional wrap F-attachment features a standard rotor valve, offering smooth transitions and extended range without compromising airflow. This design is favored for its compact feel and efficient response, allowing for seamless technique across registers. The chrome-plated nickel silver inner slide ensures durability and a smooth glide, while the yellow brass outer slide contributes to the instrument’s signature warmth.
