hi everybody, I was searching online for a straight large bore (but not too expensive) I ran into this "Bach 1001 series usa" for sale on more than one website. I could not find anything about such a model by Bach... I'm new in this world and don't know very much about trombones. what do you think about it? what about year of production, bore etc?

than you for the help

It may say "BACH" on the bell, but this instrument is not made by / connected with Vincent Bach / Conn-Selmer USA. I would guess it's of China (or perhaps India) origin. Note "May not ship to United States." Because it would infringe the Vincent Bach trademark, I presume. This is reminiscent of the craze in the mid-19th century to label inexpensive violins made in Germany as "Stradivarius."

...as very much opposed to the craze in the mid-1920s to label expensive brass instruments made in New York as "Stradivarius" :pant:

[to the OP: don't buy this!]

Back in the 1960s Bach made a student model labelled 1001. The one for sale is quite different as has been said.

Does your Balkan Band do a lot of dancing? If so I'd recommend something that is pretty durable. For this a solid student model like an Olds Ambassador might be a good idea. For a more modern instrument consider a Yamaha 354.

Most of the Balkan Band stuff I've heard generally needs a small bore sound. Again, a good student model might work well. Chat Member Jacob Garchik plays in a Balkan ensemble. Maybe you can contact him for some suggestions.
