Hello everyone,

I have a Bach 42 trombone with a Hagmann valve and I have noticed a problem with the B flat harmonic. This issue is reflected in the tuning and color of that particular harmonic.

I am wondering if anyone on the forum has experienced a similar problem and if they know if there is any solution for this. Any information or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!

It would help to say which Bb you're talking about.

I am talking about the Bb tune note. The 4th harmonic.

Is the problem with that specific note, or with that entire harmonic on the horn? What exactly is it doing? Out of tune? Sounding Airy?

Seeing by the number of views. lots of interest. The Bach 42AF(Hagmann) I've played for 3 years, one of my favorite horns. Very open, every even, from open to f-attachment.

There are two versions, of the Hagmann, depending on the age of the horn.

Just need more info, on this horn. Age, bought new or used, mouthpiece, etc.
