Bach 36BO Trombone Overview
The Bach 36BO Stradivarius is the open-wrap Bb/F version of Bach's respected Model 36 tenor trombone, offering a professional medium-large bore concept for players who want F-attachment flexibility without moving into a full large-bore orchestral setup. The Stradivarius 36 family has long been valued by advancing and professional trombonists for its balance of clarity, breadth, and manageable response, making it a useful choice for ensemble, commercial, pit, and teaching work. This instrument is a lacquered Bach 36BO with a Bach hard case and trombone mouthpiece included.

Who the 36BO Trombone Is For
The 36BO is well suited to trombonists who want a professional Bb/F instrument with a medium-large bore response, especially players who need one horn to cover a wide range of ensemble, jazz, commercial, worship, pit, and teaching settings. Compared with Bach's larger .547 bore Stradivarius models, the 36BO offers a more compact medium-large feel while retaining the usefulness of an open-wrap F attachment for alternate positions and extended low-register facility.
Common Questions About the Bach 36BO
How does the Bach 36BO differ from the Bach 36B?
Both are Bb/F versions of the Bach Model 36 concept, but the 36BO uses an open-wrap F attachment. Open-wrap designs are often chosen by players who prefer a more open feel through the valve register.
How does the Bach 36BO compare with a Bach 42BO?
The 36BO uses a .525 inch medium-large bore and 8 inch bell, while the 42BO is Bach's .547 inch large-bore Bb/F model. The 36BO is often chosen when a player wants professional F-attachment versatility with a more compact response than a large-bore symphonic tenor.
What musical settings suit the Bach 36BO?
The 36BO fits players who need flexibility across concert band, jazz ensemble, chamber work, musical theater, commercial playing, and teaching. Its medium-large bore design gives it enough breadth for ensemble work while remaining agile for mixed playing demands.
