DISC Bach Stradivarius Centennial Trombone, Light-Weight Slide

Full Description

Centennial Features

The Bach LT42BOFG centennial trombone is overflowing with exclusive features to celebrate such an occasion. Unlike any other Bach trombone, the LT42BOFG features the all-new open-flow valve into the F side of the instrument. This new European influenced valve allows for a much more open feel when using the F tubing of the instrument, even in the extreme registers. The one-piece hand-hammered gold brass bell features "bell-free bracing" which allows the bell to resonate more, producing better clarity and projection while playing. The outer slide on the LT42BOFG is made from nickel silver which is lighter and more responsive compared to yellow brass. The final addition to the LT42BOFG centennial trombone is the luxurious plate engraving on the bell. This deluxe engraving is not found on any other Bach trombone and is the perfect finish to such a triumphant instrument. Included with the Bach LT42BOFG is a limited edition case which features a wine-coloured nest and a special case badge to commemorate the 100th year of Vincent Bach's business.

High-End Design

All instruments in the Bach Stradivarius series are handmade in America to ensure the highest standard of engineering. The open wrap F attachment found on the Bach centennial LT42BOFG makes a single large loop to help reduce both air resistance and the number of connections between the main body and F attachment. This offers less back pressure and a more open feel when the trigger is engaged. Because of this, the open wrap system is the favourite for many musicians who prefer freer playing and less vibration. The Bach Lt42BOFG features a .547" large bore which is typical of most premium symphonic trombones. This is because it produces a large and rich sound which is ideal for orchestral or solo performances. The famous 8-1/2" one-piece hand-hammered yellow brass bell found on the centennial LT42BOFG is the same as the bell as the world famous 42B. This bell has defined the orchestral trombone sound for generations and will project the large, warm sound to fill any sized concert hall.

Premium Materials

Bach uses the highest quality materials to construct their Stradivarius trombones. The gold brass found in the bell is very popular among orchestral brass players as it provides a warmer sound compared to yellow brass. The LT42BOFG has a chrome plated nickel silver inner slide which provides a bright and powerful sound to the performer. Nickel silver is used for many premium trombone slides because it's firmer and has greater corrosion resistance compared to standard brass. Once the LT42BOFG has been constructed, a layer of clear lacquer is applied to make sure the instrument stays looking newer for longer.

Stradivarius Series

The Stradivarius series of instruments are the premium symphonic models originally designed and manufactured by Vincent Bach in the early 1920s. All of the models in this range are made using the highest quality materials to ensure only the best possible instruments are produced. The name "Stradivarius" originates from the first trumpets made by Vincent Bach himself. Musicians would refer to his original trumpets as having a "Stradivarius" sound, which later inspired the name Stradivarius.

About Bach
