S.E. Shires TBVE Large Bore Tenor Trombone

Inspired by classic mid-20th century American trombone design, the S.E. Shires Vintage Elkhart Trombone is an ideal instrument for any professional musician or advanced student. 

Featuring an 8 ½” two-piece red-brass bell, a narrow .547” bore handslide, and an open-wrap F-attachment with the Shires Dual-Bore toro. The TBVE produces a rich, warm sound with complex overtones and a wide palette of colors at all dynamic levels, combined with the ease of playing and projection for which S.E. Shires instruments are famed.
