Bach 42 Stradivarius Artisan Trombones

A42I

The A42I combines the great features of an Artisan A47I “Infinity” valve section with the option of a 42 bell. Identical in many ways, the one aspect that stands out differently is the rate of taper compared to the 47 bell. The 42 bell taper is more gradual, offering a little more breadth or width of sound. It features the “Infinity” axial flow valve. This patented valve design eliminates the metal-to-metal contact found in any other axial flow design through the use of sealed bearings both in the nose and in the back plate.

A42X

The A42X combines the great features of an Artisan A47X valve section with the option of a 42 bell. Identical in many ways, the one aspect that stands out differently is the rate of taper compared to the 47 bell. The 42 taper is more gradual, offering a little more breadth or width of sound. The X wrap design was developed through extensive research to achieve a balanced resistance and improved air flow throughout the valve section. This result created a truly even feel in and out of the valve range that extends throughout the most expansive registers.

A42XN

The A42XN combines the great features from the A47X with the option of a 42 bell flare and nickel handslide crook, which provides a quicker response to articulations and touch of brilliance to the sound. The 42 bell stands out differently in the rate of taper compared to the 47 bell. The 42 taper is more gradual, offering a little more breadth or width of sound. The valve section features a design that was developed through extensive research to achieve a balanced resistance and improved air flow throughout the valve section. This result led to the X wrap design, creating a truly even feel in and out of the valve range that extends throughout the most expansive registers. Performers demand an instrument that can be pushed to the limits, the A42XN delivers that and so much more.
