[Ex-demo] Vincent Bach 42A B-flat/F tenor trombone

The Bach 42 features an 8½ in. one-piece bell that has defined the symphonic trombone sound for generations.

Its large bore combined with a traditional wrap F attachment offers clarity and projection with just the right amount of resistance.

The Hagmann free-flow valve appeared in the early 1990s as a further development away from the traditional rotary valve, following the introduction of the more complex Thayer axial-flow valve in the 1980s. The Hagmann design minimises distortion of the air flow inside the valve, resulting in a rich, full sound, and is easy to maintain using regular valve oil. Vincent Bach introduced the Hagmann valve into their Stradivarius trombone range in 1999.
