Bach Trigger Replacement/Modification

Post by jlazansky »

So I have a Bach 42BO with the standard paddle rotary trigger. After looking around the web for a while I still couldn’t an answer to my queery. That being: is it possible to change the paddle trigger to one similar to the 42AF models? I don’t want to replace the rotary system, just the physical paddle itself. I want to be able to have the more comfortable trigger that also allows for some fun customization where the metal paddle doesn’t allow. And I would still like to keep the same bell and rotary system as that is alright with me and won’t require a heavy investment. If anyone knows anything about this I would really appreciate some feedback!

Hey Jared, almost anything is possible!!

It's similar to the Getzen trigger, and with some modification, we could make it work on your 42.

It would be pretty simple to make a new lever. It would work better than the original, guaranteed.
