The S.E. Shires Custom BII 7G bass 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 BII 7 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 BII taper in gold brass produces a broad, rich sound that is very balanced and flexible throughout the range of dynamics. The axial-flow valves feel very broad and even—especially when both valves are engaged—and allow for a truly open low register. This special configuration with gold brass bell is no longer offered from Shires, and provides a deep core compared to the current version with yellow brass bell. With new orders estimated at 12-14 months, this is your chance to playtest and purchase one of these popular Custom Shires bass trombones!
