Bach LT42BOFG Stradivarius Professional Tenor Trombone Overview
The Bach LT42BOFG Stradivarius Professional Tenor Trombone is a professional Bb/F tenor trombone with a .547 inch large bore, an 8.5 inch gold brass bell, a lightweight nickel silver handslide, and Bach’s open-flow rotary valve design. Developed in collaboration with Jay Friedman, principal trombonist of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the LT42BOFG is built for players who need a responsive orchestral tenor trombone with broad tonal color, clear projection, and reliable low-register facility. Its bell-free bracing allows the bell to vibrate more freely, contributing to quick response and clarity, while the open-flow valve supports efficient airflow through the F attachment.
