S.E. Shires 'Chicagoesque' Tenor Trombone Overview
The S.E. Shires 'Chicagoesque' Custom Built tenor trombone is a professional F-attachment instrument from Quinn's Custom Builds series, built for players who want a large-tenor orchestral voice with S.E. Shires modular design language. Closely related to the Shires 'Chicago' custom concept, this build uses a yellow brass TYS tuning slide for slightly crisper articulation while retaining the broad Chicago-style sound concept associated with that approach.

Common Questions About the S.E. Shires 'Chicagoesque'
How is this 'Chicagoesque' build related to a Shires 'Chicago' custom trombone?
This build is very similar in concept to the Shires 'Chicago' custom model, with a specification set aimed at a broad orchestral tenor trombone sound. The yellow brass TYS tuning slide gives this particular build a slightly crisper articulation profile.
What does the yellow brass TYS tuning slide contribute?
The yellow brass TYS tuning slide is included to give the instrument a more immediate articulation response while preserving the large, centered Chicago-style sound concept of the build.
What role does the Rotax valve section play on this F-attachment tenor?
The Rotax valve section provides F-attachment access for low-register facility and alternate slide positions. For orchestral and large-ensemble tenor trombone playing, that added valve-register flexibility is an important part of the instrument's professional function.
