S.E. Shires - STBVT-TRO - Tenor Trombone Valve Section

Description

S.E. Shires is a beloved instrument manufacturer based in Massachusetts that are particularly desired in Trombone and other low brass instrument communities.
A huge draw to the Shires line is their modularity. Shires is phenomenal in offering interchangeable alternatives to every part of a trombone, from bell, to valve section, tuning slide, and handslide. This offers the player endless variety to their horn setup, and the ability to upgrade their instrument without having to spend full price on a whole new instrument.

This rotary valve section is an example of one such modularity, being able to be seemlessly fitted to any Shires tenor bell and handslide combination.

The Shires rotary valves are said by many to be superior to traditional rotary design, due to maintaining consistent bore size throughout the valve ports. This gives the instrument a desireable balance in all registers, along with quick and consistent action. All in all providing the player with a secure playing experience.
