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.

Re: Bach Trigger Replacement/Modification
It would be pretty simple to make a new lever. It would work better than the original, guaranteed.
