The Shires Standard Series Trombone is a single specification instrument that was conceived for players that want to give up nothing in the way of playability and precision, but is not yet ready to step into custom components. The Standard Series Trombone is manufactured in the Hopedale, Massachusetts factory to the same exact standards as other S.E. Shires instruments and even features some of it’s most popular components.

The Standard Series design is centered around the two-piece 8 1/2” bell in medium weight with a soldered bead wire. It is available in either yellow or gold brass and features superior stability paired with power, projection and crispness of articulation. The wide .547” bore slide in yellow brass with a nickel silver end crook is identical to many of the custom model S.E. Shires trombones. This is paired with a 1.5 Venturi leadpipe which provides you with maximum stability and projection. The Standard S.E. Shires rotary valve provides a consistent feel between the open end valve registers paired with a broad open sound. 

The Shires Standard Series Trombone includes S.E. Shires premium carrying case and mouthpiece.
