"More than just lightness."

[Features]
The Vincent Bach LT16M is the widest model in the company's Stradivarius series of narrow-bore tenor trombones, boasting a 12.93 mm bore. In addition to the ease of handling characteristic of a narrow bore, it offers smooth airflow and accommodates a wide dynamic range.

Looking at the specifications alone, such as the bell diameter, slide bore, and lightweight nickel silver outer slide, you might get the impression that it's similar to the King 3B. However, the playing feel and sound direction are quite different.

While the 3B has an open, flexible, and bright sound, the LT16M, despite being a narrow-bore tenor, is characterized by a sound that still possesses the core and density typical of Bach. The sound has a tight outline, is light yet thick, and combines the responsiveness characteristic of a narrow bore with the presence of the Bach sound.

The lightweight nickel silver slide contributes to smooth operation in fast passages. It easily produces a bright and tight tone, making it ideal for jazz, big band, and studio playing, as well as for those seeking a solid core sound from a narrow bore. The instrument in stock features a gold brass bell, which is no longer in production. It offers a softer and fuller sound than yellow brass, adding a richer tone to the LT16M's agility.

If you want the lightness of a narrow bore, but want to avoid a thin sound, this narrow-bore tenor trombone is perfect for you. It offers a truly authentic Bach sound.
