Bach trombones set the standard by which all other professional trombones follow. Take the 36B, for example. The yellow brass construction provides a classic character that can slice to the front of the mix with ease. Thanks to the traditional wrap F attachment, this elegant trombone is well suited for pit orchestras and other confined playing spaces. It has a standard rotary valve that enables alternate positions and a whole universe of creative slide work ? especially during technically demanding passages. You'll appreciate the premium features, including a 1-piece, hand-hammered yellow brass bell for hall-filling projection. A medium-large bore diameter (0.525 inches) gives you the tonal flexibility you need to blend into the orchestra and stand out for soloing. Slidework is molto vivace, thanks to the chrome-plated nickel silver inner slide and yellow brass outer slide. Trust your tone to the Bach 36B, a tenor trombone with a pedigree that few instruments can match.

Hand-hammered 8-inch bell





The 36B delivers your tone to the audience via a 1-piece yellow brass bell. Yellow brass is known for its robust and cutting tonal character. At its fullest, the bell flares out to an impressive eight inches. The artisans at Bach hammered the bell by hand to ensure it delivers an even response under all playing conditions. Together with the 0.525-inch bore diameter, here at Sweetwater we've found this trombone showcases a well-rounded tone with an ethereal brilliance that shines throughout the instrument’s playing register. This unique tonal quality makes the Bach 36B uniquely suited for players who need a horn that nails both symphonic and solo sounds. The more your play your new Bach 36B Stradivarius trombone, the faster it’ll become your first call 'bone.





F attachment with traditional wrap





You don't need us to tell you how useful an F attachment is to advanced and professional players. Bach's blended team of professional musicians and designers engineered this traditional wrap attachment to assist the player in reaching their full playing potential. The traditional wrap design ? commonly called a closed wrap ? uses a clever network of bends and twists to fit comfortably within the bell section. This saves the delicate slides from scratches and dents while keeping the overall design very compact. Traditional wrap trombones are the horn of choice for advanced marching players and pit players alike. The 36B's medium-large bore diameter of 0.525 inches provides extra clarity and tonal balance along with a small amount of resistance introduced by the traditional wrap's extra bends. Finally, you'll appreciate the standard rotor valve and ultra-durable mechanical linkage.





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.
