The S.E. Shires Custom trombone is a versatile instrument with a clear, pure sound and the consistency, playability, and projection that has made S.E. Shires trombones the favorites of professionals the world over. The unique S.E. Shires 7YLW bell combines the quick response and color of a one-piece bell with the centered feel and expansive tone of a two-piece bell. The S.E. Shires Tru-Bore™ valve is Shires' own design, a valve that captures many of the free-blowing, evenly responding characteristics of a straight trombone, with an amazingly continuous response between the open and engaged positions. It combines clear articulations with broad sound and feel.
