This is one of the top custom horns of this medium
bore size in the world. It is handmade in Boston. Several parts of
this horn are interchangeable with the Shires large bore symphonic
tenor trombone. The difference here is the smaller .525" slide and 8"
bell. The tuning slide and valve section are the same for both
instruments. Look to the large tenor page
for more options and info on Shires trombones.

Rotary
|
Oversize rotary valve has full .562" bore all the way
through, gently rounded ports, short throw, fast response.
|
$1560 |
|
Axial Flow
|
Made in-house at Shires to the highest tolerances, these
feature nickel plated brass rotor, very even feel between Bb
and F. Due to the wider width of an axial flow valve, most
players should order a wide slide for jaw clearance, the
TW25.
|
$1560 |
Tru-Bore
|
New patented rotary valve has a completely straight air
path on the Bb side, and it gently redirects the air out the
back on the F side. Very short throw. Due to the wider width
of a Tru-Bore valve, most players should order a wide slide
for jaw clearance, the TW25.

$1740 |
|
No-Valve Neckpipe
|
For the purist, just get a straight neckpipe and a
counter weight for balance. You can still convert to an F
attachment later simply by pulling off the tuning slide and
unscrewing two mounting screws. A convertible horn like this
is a very versatile instrument.
