Who the Custom Model Professional Tenor Trombone Is For
The S.E. Shires Custom Model Professional Tenor Trombone is a large-bore Bb/F tenor trombone designed for professional and pre-professional players who need a clear core sound, reliable response, and strong projection. The 7YLW bell is built to balance quick articulation and color with a centered feel, making it a strong fit for players who want flexibility across orchestral repertoire, brass ensemble, commercial section work, and solo literature.
This configuration is distinguished by Shires’ modular approach and included interchangeable leadpipes, allowing players to fine-tune response and resistance to match their air concept and repertoire, while the Axial Flow Valve supports an open-feeling, consistent low register.
