S.E.
Shires Artist Custom
|
The Shires Custom Artist series is a beautiful modular horn from Boston with many
options, used by top players around the world. |
$3100-4400 |
| S.E. Shires Pro Select
|
The new Shires Pro Select line features 4 new
large bore tenor trombones in the most popular configurations of the
modular Artist Custom horns, above. All of these new models are
made to the same high quality specifications in the Shires shop.
All include one #2 medium sized leadpipe and a Shires hard case.
Mouthpiece is sold separately. No component substitutions are
available, but extra Shires leadpipes are available separately at
$110-250 depending on metal choice. Slides are similar widths to
Conn (medium) or Bach (wide), and feature nickel crooks and oversleeves
for efficiency and durability. The wide slide allows proper neck
clearance around the large axial valve. Bells are 2-piece, 8.5"
diameter, and are beautifully engraved. There is nothing cheaper
about these instruments compared to the Artist Custom line. The
lower price comes from efficiency of production. If you're
concerned about absolute specs, ("Is that a 2RVE bell, or a 2RVET7?" or
"Is that a TW47 slide or TB47?"), you're better off ordering a custom
horn from the Artist Custom line. If you say, "I just need a great
horn with an axial valve, in gold brass", then one of these may fit the
bill nicely.

Kanstul 970
|
This is the Kanstul basic professional large bore trombone, using
most of the pasrts of the 1570, but it's several hundred dollars
less. The cost savings comes from the following: standard
rotor instead of the CR, more brass parts on the tuning slide instead
of nickel trim, and only one leadpipes, which is fixed.
.547" lightweight slide in brass or bronze. 8.5"
one-piece hand-hammered and hand-spun bell in brass or bronze, open
wrap F- attachment with pull to E, includes Protec case. We
order ours with the new 1600-style trigger paddle and linkage for
better ergonomics. Often in stock in all bronze. |

| Willson 411TA
 |
Based on the classic Bach design, this beautiful
Swiss-made instrument offers some new twists. It has the standard
large bore dimensions, including .547" lightweight nickel slide and 8.5"
brass bell. But, instead of chrome plated inner slide tubes, these
are finished with a gold hued titanium nitride (TiN) coating. This
coating is harder than chrome, won't chip off, and looks beautiful.
I believe these coated tunes cannot be soldered, so the inner tubes are
attached with small hex bolts, allowing easy replacement or adjustment.
Also, the main inner slide brace is adjustable with a hex wrench, if a
realignment is ever needed. The rotary valve is the Swiss-made
Rotax valve, which features a 100% geometrical passage volume. In
comparison, the conventional rotary valves only provides 50%-70% passage
flow. This allows smooth and unrestricted air flow. The goal was
to make the instrument more controllable and consistent throughout all
registers. The Rotax system is patented by WILLSON. Features
open wrap F-attachment, adjustable paddle. Includes wood case.
Mouthpiece is sold separately. We have only five instruments at
this price. The regular price is $3500. |
