BACK AT LAST! Bach A47XPS Steiner Artisan Tenor Re-review

Since the initial introduction (and our first videos) of the Bach A47XPS Peter Steiner Artisan large bore tenor trombone we have received many requests to do a full review of this horn. It took a few years to get our next example in but, when it did, we made sure to grab a video with it right away (and we are glad we did!)
With it's lightweight cut-flare gold brass bell and European-inspired X-wrap, combined with the existing Artisan bell taper and tuning slide-handslide setup, the A47XPS solidly exemplifies many of the attributes that we are seeing in the evolution of the modern classical tenor and the first notes we played on it reminded us why we liked it so much the first time around!
Take a listen to the A47XPS in action and let us know what you think!

I like its sound, I think it has the best sound of all Bach trombones

[@SchmittMusicTromboneShop]

There is something special to it!

I've NEVER had any experience with it because anywhere I go that has rooms/walls full of trombones, it's always out of stock 😐 Hopefully I can finally get my hands on one around TMEA time!

We still have this specific A47XPS in the shop (although I don’t imagine for too much longer!). Feel free to reach out at [e-mail] if we can help with anything!

It would be nice to hear something about the taper of the 47 and how that is different to the 42 and how much it impacts the sound and the playing. Secondly I wonder about the differenced of the classic 42 slide and this 47 slide. Is it just the interchangeable leadpipe that comes with the 47 or is there more to it with a different weight distribution?

Great review and great horn! I've just compared Tannhäuser excerpt on this video vs the 88HNV video...without having tested them they seem very similar trombones. The Conn has a brighter sound while the Bach has a more powerful one. Which one would you choose as a main trombone? Currently I'm playing an Antoine Courtois Legend 420 and I'm not sure on what trombone to buy.
