About the history of this great instrument:

The Bach 42 is, along with the Conn 88h, one of the most frequently played trombones in the classical field.

But she also does great in the lower voices of a big band.

Bach has been one of the leading American trombone manufacturers since 1924.

This trombone was made in Elkhart (Indiana). The small town is world-famous for the incredibly high quality of the instruments made there (not only by Bach).

This instrument is from around 1997 and has just been overhauled by us for you.

What distinguishes this professional Bach 42T tenor trombone:

• Dark, powerful sound.
• The train runs fine, no chrome loss.
• This instrument has a cylindrical slide with .547" (13.90mm) L-bore. The bell is Ø 8.5" (216.00mm)
• Yellow brass bell, yellow brass slide, 2nd tuning slide is made of gold brass.
• With original Thayer valve that sounds great and feels very open.

Recommendation from me as a professional musician:

• The 42 is the first choice for many professionals for classical music, theater and musicals. It can also be used in lower voices in jazz.
• For this 42 I recommend Yamaha Slide Lubricant or Slide-O-Mix Rapid Comfort as a lubricant.
• The instrument should be cleaned regularly from the inside, e.g. with a Reka care set.
