Vincent Bach combined his unique talents as both a musician and an engineer to create brass instruments of unequaled tonal quality – instruments which today remain the sound choice of artists worldwide. Born Vincent Schrotenbach in Vienna in 1890, he initially received training on the violin, then switched to the trumpet when he heard its majestic sound.

BORE Trombone bores are a measurement of the inside diameter of the inner slide tubes. As the bore size changes so does the bell design. The shape of the tapered surface, or rate of flare, determines the characteristic sound of the instrument. Slow tapers yield bright tones, while fast tapers produce dark, warm sounds. Smaller bore trombones, having bells with slower rates of taper, produce a brighter jazz sound.
ROTOR SECTIONS Many Bach Stradivarius trombones can be configured with traditional, “T” Free Flowing or Hagmann Valves. Bach trombones with traditional rotor valve sections offer a choice of either open or traditional wrap. Open wrapping of the rotor section places fewer and larger bends in the tubing, resulting in less blowing resistance. Traditional wrapping provides compactness and protection. “T” Free Flowing and Hagmann Valves systems eliminate sharp crook tube bends within the rotor itself.
