Who the STBDR Custom Tenor Trombone Is For
The S.E. Shires STBDR David Rejano Custom Tenor Trombone is a professional large-bore Bb/F tenor trombone designed for players who want a stable, controlled valve feel and a broad palette of tonal colors for lyrical, expressive playing. The closed wrap serpentine Rejano rotary valve is built to maintain consistency of response in and out of the valve, while the gold brass bell and gold brass slide crook support a complex, vocal-style sound that projects with clarity.
This model is a strong fit for advanced conservatory students, working professionals, and principal or section players who need one instrument that can cover orchestral repertoire, solo work, and high-level commercial playing. The detachable-flare bell and included set of three leadpipes distinguish the STBDR by giving you practical, musician-facing tools to refine resistance, articulation, and color without changing instruments.
Common Questions About The S.E. Shires STBDR
What does “closed wrap” mean on the STBDR’s F valve, and how does it affect playing?
Closed wrap refers to a more compact valve tubing layout than open wrap designs. On the STBDR, the Rejano closed wrap serpentine rotor is intended to keep the blow stable and consistent, helping the instrument feel controlled both in standard Bb and when engaged in F.
Is the S.E. Shires STBDR suitable for professional orchestral use?
Yes. The STBDR is a .547-inch large-bore Bb/F tenor trombone with a hand-hammered gold brass 8.5 inch bell and a professional rotary valve section, which aligns with the core requirements for orchestral tenor trombone performance and demanding section work.
What is included with this trombone?
The instrument includes an S.E. Shires tenor trombone case, a large shank Laskey mouthpiece, a care kit, and three interchangeable yellow brass leadpipes.
