Vintage Bach Stradivarius Lt16m Tenor Trombone With Lightweight Slide 1979
Vintage Bach Stradivarius LT16M tenor trombone with lightweight slide, serial number 39796. This instrument was manufactured in Elkhart, Indiana in 1979. The lightweight slide has a bore of. 508 and the bell measures 7 ½. The bell engraving reads: STRADIVARIUS/ MODEL 16/ VINCENT BACH CORPORATION/ ELKHART, IND. The slide receiver barrel reads 39796/MODEL/16/M. The bell section is in raw brass and shows signs of previous damage l. Ocalized in the bell flare and throat. Dents, creases, waves, scratches, and poorly executed dent repairs, Ive been able to fix most of it, but reworking the bell is tricky because previous dent work hardened the brass. Even with spot annealing, it can be a difficult proposition. Trying to make it perfect risks destroying the horn. The tuning slide crook shows evidence of dent work, but is in good shape and moves freely. There is no damage on the neckpipe. The bell section has been Flitz polished. The nickel-silver handslide has been overhauled: lacquer stripped, dings removed, tubes flex-honed, slide aligned and new felts installed. The inner chrome plated slide tubes are in very good condition with only one small spot of wear on the top edge of the upper stocking, which does not affect slide action: its an 8-9/10! The horn plays like an artist making up for cosmetic shortcomings! It slots well and sounds a little warmer and more natural than a lacquered 16. This is a terrific solo instrument. Its the smoothest-sounding 16 Ive ever played. Perhaps thats why its aged so well. It was a keeper for me. The instrument is clean and ready to play. Just add slide lube. Includes a Bach coffin case with minor scrapes to the vinyl leatherette, but otherwise in very good condition. Ive been a player, collector and repair tech for many years, but now find that its become more of a burden than a joy to keep, restore, and maintain so many trombones.
