Bach Stradivarius 42A Large Bore Tenor Trombone Review

[@jackburrows5850]

I have played a Bach 42A for over 4 years now - all i will say is it reflects what you want and it reflects if you are capable of certain things or not

I've got the 42AG, it's a sweet horn.

[@EstebanMonestel]

I have a 42A and is amazing, so powerful tone with the Hagmann and also the horn itself. Good response and it is easy to draw different colors with him.

The piece he plays after the scales is Serocki 'Sonatina' (sans piano), by the way.

I would like to see a review of the Bach 42 Bb Straight trombone.

I have played Bach 42KG for almost 20 years, but the K valve was retired and replaced by the Hagmann Valve, why Bach gave up the K valve? Too heavy? Or slow responding? Do I need to update a new bone?

[@michaelhilton4859]

Do you think the "warmness" you mentioned is due to the copper tubing inside the valve section?

[@valtercristino1999]

Between this and a S E Shires new York, what do you prefer?

[@davidbucher4095]

If you play at the back of a large orchestra and sound projection is an issue, then you need a one-piece bell, like a Bach 42 or 47. Otherwise, a two-piece bell would do.

Does it have the standard clanking sound of Bach valves?

In general I find the Hagmann valve to be a quiet valve that tends to hold up well over time with a bit of regular maintenance. In particular the Hagmann linkages seem a bit quieter and smoother then the standard Miniball but if not oiled and cared for I am sure they can become noisy as well...
