The S.E. Shires Vintage New York bass trombone is an ideal instrument for any professional musician or advanced student, and a great companion instrument to the tenor model. Inspired by the classic New York and Mt. Vernon bells, this one-piece bell is constructed with the broader BII taper and features a large, rich, warm sound. The yellow-brass material provides a clear, pure sound with strong fundamental, keeps a very consistent tone color and overtone structure throughout the range of dynamics. The yellow brass handslide with yellow brass crook provides a complex sound and open feel. The S.E. Shires dual axial-flow valves offer smooth, accurate operation, combined with a broad sound and truly open low register. This instrument combines the best elements of classic New York and Mt. Vernon trombone design with the consistency, playability, and projection that has made S.E. Shires trombones the favorites of professionals the world over.
