Common Questions About the Bach 42BOF

The Open Flow rotor is designed to provide a more open transition into the F attachment than a conventional rotary valve while retaining the familiar large-bore Model 42 playing concept.
How does the 42BOF fit within the Bach Model 42 family?
The 42BOF shares the .547-inch bore and 8.5-inch yellow brass bell of the professional Model 42 platform. It differs from the 42B and 42BO by pairing its open-wrap F attachment with the Open Flow rotor.
What musical settings suit the Bach 42BOF?
The 42BOF is designed for professional and advanced orchestral, concert band, brass ensemble, chamber, solo, teaching, and audition applications that call for a full large-bore tenor trombone sound.
