Vincent Bach Stradivarius 42CGH tenor trombone 1973

For sale here is a used Bach 42B tenor trombone with quarter valve.

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).

It was built around 1973 and recently overhauled.

The abbreviations have the following meaning:
"H" stands for "Heavy" (thicker wall thickness) "C" stands for "Convertable" (can be converted with or without a quarter valve) "G" stands for "Goldbrass" (gold brass bell)
