Full Description
View Full DescriptionBach Stradivarius
Bach have been making brass instruments since 1924 and are viewed as one of the best trumpet manufacturers in the world. In 1928, Bach decided to use their expertise to begin manufacturing trombones - which have since grown to gain a reputation similar to their trumpets.
Musicians would frequently refer to early Bach trumpets as having a real 'Stradivarius' sound, referring to the world-famous string instruments. This led to the Stradivarius range of instruments being created. Stradivarius models are all hand-made by expert craftsmen in the United States, using the finest materials, and held to the highest standard of quality control - all to ensure only the most premium instruments bear the Stradivarius name.
Special features
The Bach Stradivarius 50B2L comes with a hand-hammered, large-diameter, single-piece yellow-brass bell. Producing a bell in this way is much more labour intensive than cheaper two-piece bells, but it yields a much purer resonance and tone. The wider diameter offers greater projection and a wider dynamic range.
A closed-wrap F/Eb-attachment is utilised on the 50B2L. This compact loop doesn't extend beyond the confines of the tuning slide, making it perfect for use in pit bands where space is more limited. These traditional-wrap attachments are much less prone to knocks and dings, making them a great choice for travelling musicians.
To ensure an incredibly smooth slide action and effortless playability, the inner slide tubing is made from chrome-plated nickel silver. This premium material glides freely, allowing rapid movement - and also adds brilliance to the timbre.
Included accessories
The Bach 50B2L bass trombone comes included with a Bach 1-1/2G mouthpiece and an 1845A wood shell case. The mouthpiece provides a rich, deep tone, with a quick response and effortless blowing on low pedal notes. Your trombone will be kept safe from bangs and scrapes with the sturdy yet lightweight construction of the 1845A case, perfect for the musician on the move.
