Bach Stradivarius Model 16 Tenor Trombone w/Case - Used

Type: Used
Condition: Very Good

Used Bach Stradivarius Model 16 Tenor Trombone.  Includes Case and mouthpiece.

By the early 1980s, the Bach 16 had established itself as one of the most respected small-bore tenor trombones in the professional world. Its lineage traces back to the ’60s and ’70s era when players like Bill Watrous elevated the model to iconic status — a Bach alternative to the King 3B, but with its own tonal signature: broader core, velvety warmth, and unmistakable Stradivarius clarity.

The standard 7.5-inch yellow brass bell speaks with brilliant ease, while the dual-bore handslide offers quick response and crisp articulation. For players accustomed to Bach, Edwards, or Shires setups, the 16 offers a familiar feel in a compact, commercial-friendly format. Classical musicians often kept a 16 in their arsenal for big band, pit, or jazz doubling work. And for players searching for something in the 3B family but with a more colorful, Bach-like voice, the 16 remains a standout option.
