Overview
Concert halls, university practice rooms and orchestra pits are where the Bach Stradivarius trombone belongs. It is a brass trombone with an F attachment worked by a trigger, and its open wrap layout routes the extra tubing with fewer bends.
Open wrap tubing has fewer bends, which Bach credits for a free-blowing instrument. Bach also states the attachment does not alter the sound whether the trigger is pressed or not. Bore size, bell size and warranty terms are missing from the listing, which matters for a player at this level.
Who it's for
Advanced students moving up and professional players in orchestras or wind ensembles are the intended players. Beginners and anyone wanting a simple straight horn will carry more weight and tubing than they need.
Pros and cons
- Open wrap tubing for a free blow
- Trigger does not change the sound, per Bach
- Woodshell case included
- Lacquered brass bell
- Bore and bell sizes not listed
- Warranty listed as not applicable
- Heavy listed weight to carry
- Item type mislabeled as a mute
Performance notes
Response through the attachment depends on how sharply the tubing bends, and the open wrap layout reduces those bends. The trigger routes air through the F tubing for the lower notes without, per Bach, changing the tone. Slide and valve maintenance by the player decides how freely it plays over time.
