- The boreTrombone bores are a measurement of the inside diameter of the inner slide tubes. As the bore size changes so does the bell design. The shape of the tapered surface, or rate of flare determines the characteristic sound of the instrument. Slow tapers yield bright tones, while fast tapers produce dark, warm sounds. Smaller bore trombones, having bells with slower rates of taper, produce a brighter jazz sound. Larger bore trombones, having bells with faster rates of taper, yield darker symphonic tone qualities. of a 42 series Bach Stradivarius tenor trombone is .547" large bore and the
bellBach Stradivarius trombones are famous for their fullness of sound and projection. This is achieved by the use of one-piece construction, allowing for unrestricted vibration of the bell. In addition to the shape of the bell flare (rate of taper), the type and thickness of the bell material also affect the sound. Gold brass, softer and more red than thestandard yellow brass due to a higher copper content (85% as opposed to 70%), results in a warm tone. Sterling Plus® bells (99.9% pure silver, seamless construction) create a full compliment of partials (overtones)in the tonal spectrum for a focused sound with great projection. For situations involving dark qualities or high dynamic levels without distortion, choose a heavyweight bell (in either yellow or gold brass). is an 8 1/2" one piece hand hammered yellow brass bell.
- They have tubular nickel silver body braces.
- The slidesThe prefix “LT” before any Bach Stradivarius model number (such as LT16M) indicates a lightweight handslide. Some musicians prefer the feel and quick response of the lightweight slide. The weight has been reduced by using nickel silver tubing for the outer slides. In addition to the lighter weight, nickel silver tubing also resists corrosion. All Bach Stradivarius trombones not having an “LT” prefix feature regular weight slides made from brass tubing for outer slides. All models can be special ordered with lightweight nickel silver outer slides. Bach 42 series trombones can be customized with narrow handslides for playing comfort. have a chrome plated nickel silver seamless inner slide, brass outer slide, and a nickel silver handgrip.
- This trombone is available in the standard way (key of Bb, no rotor), with an F rotor and traditional or open wrapBach trombones with traditional rotor valve sections offer a choice of either open or traditional wrap. Open wrapping of the rotor section places fewer and larger bends in the tubing, resulting in less blowing resistance. Traditional wrapping provides compactness and protection. Hagmann and Thayer™ Valve systems eliminate sharp crook tube bends within the rotor itself. Combined with open wrap section tubing, they allow for a free and unimpeded flow of the air column, regardless of whether the Bb of F sides of the trombone are being used. Convertible models offer the advantage of two instruments in one. Straight and F rotor sections can be interchanged by simply removing the tuning slide and loosening two adjusting screws., with a convertible F rotor and traditional or open wrap, a Thayer™ Valve and an open wrap, or a Hagmann Valve and an open wrap.
- Options include bell material and weight (gold brass, heavy, heavy gold brass, or “Sterling Plus”), an open gooseneckThe venturi (constriction) and rate of taper in the mouthpipe affect the trombone's characteristic sound. Bach offers several mouthpipe options. Removable and interchangeable mouthpipes for 42 series large bore tenor trombones: standard – balanced resistance, focused sound; standard length/open venturi – less resistance, more flexible; long length/open venturi – very free blowing. Removable and interchangeable mouthpipes for Bach bass trombones: standard – balanced resistance, focused sound; short length/open venturi – less resistance, more flexible; mouthpiece holder only – most free blowing. The gooseneck, a section of pipe located immediately after the handslide section, serves as a “choke” to further balance the blowing resistance. The model LT16M features a more open gooseneck (i.e., less constriction), creating less resistance and more flexibility. The optional open gooseneck for the 42 series tenor trombones also results in a more open instrument., silver or gold plated finish, and engraving.
