[Specifications]

Key: B♭/F

Body: Gold Brass Bell, Lacquer Finish

This brass has a higher copper content than yellow brass, giving it a slightly reddish appearance. It produces a warmer, softer sound than yellow brass.

A clear lacquer coating is applied to the metal surface to prevent rust and staining. Bach's lacquer finish uses a natural drying method that does not affect the metal, thereby achieving the bright, tight sound characteristic of lacquer finishes while maximizing the quality of the metal.

Bell: 8-1/2" (216.0mm)

All Bach "Strad" trombones feature a hand-hammered, single-piece bell, which produces a full, rich, and projected tone. Each model is available in a variety of bell sizes depending on the instrument's bore size and musical purpose. Smaller bells produce a more compact, bright, and clear tone, while larger bells tend to produce a richer, darker sound that is less likely to crack.

Bore: 13.90mm (large bore)

Open Wrap

The open wrap trombone features a larger F attachment layout for a gentler flow. Its body has fewer joints between the F tube and the body, and the body has two struts, similar to a tenor trombone without an F attachment. This allows for a more open playing feel and brighter tone, similar to that of a tenor trombone.

Valves: Rotary Valves

This valve system has a long history of use, having been in use for 180 years since its invention by Frudrich Blümel of Germany. Rotating the axis of a cylindrical cylinder changes the tube's path. Offering comfortable resistance and excellent legato control, it is widely used not only for trombone F attachments, but also for horn and tuba valves.
