This Bach model 50B was used for over 30 years in the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. It was the bass trombonists primary instrument. It is a Corporation era horn made in the early 70s. It has the wear to prove it. It was relacquered toward the end of his career. Buffing was done so as not to thin the metal too much and maintain the integrity of the horn. The chrome plating on the inside tubes is thin. Not terrible, but would benefit from new tubes. This 50B features the 9.5 yellow brass bell with traditional wrap and standard weight brass slide. Trigger linkage was converted to ball and socket and operates smoothly. The bell is detachable so you can use different bells. The horn plays well as you would expect a Bach of this vintage to play. Its actually very open in the valve register. It would be the perfect candidate to build your dream bass trombone or play as a classic single valve horn. It is not perfect for sure but it still has lots of life left in it. It has the original coffin style Bach case which is in great condition because it wasnt used much. If you are outside the U.
