Vincent Bach 16M lead trombone for section work and studio
The Vincent Bach 16M Sterling Silver Plus from around 1976 is a professional lead trombone that has been a long-standing choice for commercial trombonists. This example comes from the Elkhart period and combines a .500" bore with an 8" Sterling Silver Plus bell, making it especially well suited to big band, lead, studio and pop work.
In practice, that gives you a compact and focused sound with above-average presence in the section. The sterling silver flare with extra mass adds projection, clarity and carrying power, so your part comes through clearly while keeping its focus.
Build, response and condition of this Vincent Bach 16M
The characteristic Bach response makes this instrument immediate and responsive to play. That suits players who want fast attacks and confidence in articulation and projection in a lead role.
This used instrument has been fully checked in the Magna Music workshop. The slide moves smoothly, the fit is tight and the trombone responds straight away. It also includes a free service check, which is a welcome extra on a professional brass instrument from this period.
