You'll appreciate the premium features, including a 1-piece, hand-hammered gold brass bell for hall-filling projection along with a large bore for easier blowing. On top of that, the 42BOG has a chrome-plated nickel silver inner slide and a yellow brass outer slide for effortless slide work. Players of all types choose the 42BOG for its ability to fit into any style, setting, and visual presentation.

F attachment with open wrap





Bach's team of engineers consider the F attachment as a vital component that contributes to the overall tone ? an attitude that's not shared by some of the other major manufacturers. Bach opted for an open wrap instead of the traditional closed wrap that has a reputation for choking tone and making it nigh on impossible to hit a C2 without using pedal tones. The open wrap and large bore diameter of 0.547 inches facilitate a playing experience that feels like the attachment isn’t even there. You’ll appreciate the ergonomically placed standard rotor valve and the spot-on intonation provided by the separate tuning slide.





Hand-hammered gold brass bell





Bach chose a gold brass bell to give the 42BOG Stradivarius Professional Trombone a meaty tone with lovely texture. The lifelong instrument makers in Bach’s Elkhart workshop hammer each bell by hand to ensure that it delivers the perfect sound. The bell measures in at an impressive 8.5 inches to deliver the projection needed for orchestral settings. For full-bodied tone in every register, you can’t go wrong with a gold brass bell.





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.
