Bach A47X Artisan Tenor Trombone Overview
The Bach A47XW04836 Artisan Stradivarius is a modular professional tenor trombone developed for players who value the established Bach large-bore concept with greater flexibility in bell, valve, slide, and leadpipe configuration. This instrument combines the A47 platform with an X-wrap F attachment and an Artisan 88 rose brass bell designed to reproduce the bell profile of the classic Elkhart-era Conn 88H.

Common Questions About the Bach A47XW04836
What distinguishes the Artisan 88 bell from the standard A47 bell?
The Artisan 88 is an 8.5-inch, two-piece, hand-hammered rose brass bell based on the bell profile of the classic Elkhart-era Conn 88H. It offers players an 88H-influenced bell concept within the modular Bach Artisan system.
What is the purpose of the X-wrap F attachment?
The X-wrap layout provides an open path through the F attachment and is designed to maintain a responsive feel when the valve is engaged. It also gives the instrument a distinctive balance and airflow concept within the Artisan line.
Why is an interchangeable leadpipe useful?
Changing the leadpipe can alter resistance, articulation, and the way the instrument centers. The included extra leadpipe allows a player to compare two response profiles without changing the rest of the trombone's configuration.
