Bach Stradivarius 50B Professional Bass Trombone with OE Thayer valve. This instrument is in excellent condition.. It appears that the instrument was used professionally by a member of a military band prior to me. Minor work on bell throat was done by the previous owner to correct any dents. No additional dents appear on the instrument. The slide moves very well – 9.5 out of 10 action – with no abnormal wear spots. I’ve only used Yamaha Slide lubricant. The slide section also includes a removable leadpipe. (note-it only came with the one leadpipe, though it looks like it would take standard Edwards leadpipes). Thayer valve moves quickly with no issues. Lacquer is at about 95% on the bell section; 70% on the slide section. Comes with original hard shell case – AND the Leather Specialties neck guard. I’ve owned this bass trombone for the past few years, and have only played it over the past two summers in the hopes of increasing my range and versatility as a trombonist. (I play tenor trombone semi-professionally in the area) The Thayer valve blows very freely – a little too freely for me – and so I’ve opted for a different bass trombone with a more traditional rotor feel. This is a wonderful instrument, and I’m hoping it will find a home with a musician that can really appreciate the Thayer valve as it was meant to be.
