S.E. Shires Custom Series Bass Trombone. This top-of-the-line professional setup features an incredible selection of Shires' most premium components, avoiding the typical 10 to 18 month factory wait list.
Component Breakdown:
-
Bell: BII 7YLW Cut Bell – 9.5-inch, lightweight yellow brass. Features the "BII" broad throat taper for a massive, warm orchestral soundstage.
-
Cut Bell Configuration: Factory detachable screw flare. It allows the horn to fit into compact, flight-friendly travel cases, while the threaded collar adds a subtle mass that beautifully centers note slotting.
-
Independent F/G♭ Dual Axial-Flow Valves (Lightweight Upgrade) – Provides an incredibly open, even feel through the low register with seamless airflow.
-
B62 Handslide – Premium .562-inch straight bore slide. Yellow brass outer tubes with a nickel-silver crook for instant response and flawless factory action.
-
BYB Tuning Slide ("B" Taper) – Drawn yellow brass configuration that offers a centered feel with outstanding clarity in articulation.
Performance:
This combination is incredibly balanced. The broad BII throat gives you a rich, wide, vintage-style section sound. Because it is paired with a lightweight bell, lightweight valves, and a "B" tuning slide, the horn speaks instantly at soft dynamics and delivers a crisp, projecting fundamental when pushed.
