Designed with international artist David Rejano, the SE Shires TBDR model features the David Rejano Rotary Valve, a closed wrap serpentine rotor, which offers stability and control both in and out of the valve. A detachable-flare gold-brass bell paired with a gold-brass hand slide offers a complex array of colors enabling the player to sing through the horn with a distinctive and compelling sound.
The TBDR has a weighty and colorful timbre that, with the right energy, comes to life with an amazing core and projection and the ability to sing at upper dynamics with stability.
