Brilliantly responsive bell





The Bach 36 Stradivarius professional trombone features a yellow brass bell. Constructed from a single piece of yellow brass, the bell delivers a brilliant tone with colorful overtones and intricate harmonics. Measuring eight inches in diameter, the bell offers Bach’s distinctive sound with an amazing dynamic range. Plus, the bell was shaped by hand, courtesy of Bach’s expert brass artisans in Elkhart, Indiana, ensuring that each 36 trombone ? including yours ? reaches its full potential.





Plays like a dream





Playability is one of the most important considerations when purchasing a new trombone. The Bach 36 trombone features a yellow brass outer slide paired with a chrome-plated nickel silver inner slide. How do we know it plays like a dream, you ask? Our brass technicians inspect every trombone slide for alignment and give the slide a quick play test before polishing it to a factory-fresh sheen. Thanks to Sweetwater’s groundbreaking 40-point brass inspection process, you can be assured that this Bach 36 exceeds expectations straight out of the case.





Bach: the professional choice





Often copied but never truly imitated, Bach trombones are the choice of players worldwide. Vincent Bach founded Bach brass in 1918 after a mouthpiece repair went wrong. By 1928, Bach introduced trombones into his lineup. Bach’s famous trombone designs stemmed from a combination of his musical know-how and engineering talent. He successfully identified what he needed from a trombone and set about creating an instrument that could solve the unique issues experienced by trombone players ? and he never looked back. More than a century later, Bach instruments are proudly crafted in Elkhart, Indiana, to the same lofty standards as those from the ’20s and ’30s.
