The Bach 42 Thread

[CSO4ever]

I’ve been playing Bach trombones since high school, and I believe it will stay that way for the rest of my musical career. Currently, I play the LT42AFG model, where I replaced the nickel on the slide crook with brass. The slide is very fast, and with this change, I’ve also slightly darkened the sound, bringing it closer to the characteristics of a regular brass slide. I like Bach trombones because of their full and distinctive tone, and the instruments offer a wide range of color that can blend into various ensembles. Over the years, I’ve played many excellent Bach trombones from different periods, each with its unique sound, naturally at Bach’s high standard. The only downside to Bach trombones (and, of course, other brands) is the poor quality of the lacquer, but due to the phenomenal sound, this doesn’t bother me.
