FS: Shires Large Tenor Trombone

[ttf_anonymous]

Selling my Shires large tenor. Specs are as follows:

Tru-bore valve. 2 valve caps included, 1 normal weight, 1 heavy weight.

TW47 slide. 3 leadpipes included. Numbers 1,2 and 3.

Standard yellow brass tuning slide.

Yellow Master Series bell. This bell is similar to a medium weight 7 bell. Soldered rim. It has a very even response and sound throughout all registers. Works very well with this set up. Produces a large, clear sound. It also blends very well in a section. This bell is like all Shires bells in that it can fit on any set up.

Shires Vintage 5G mouthpiece included. Like new condition.

Case included.

This instrument is in excellent condition with lacquer loss and wear in normal spots. Minimal lacquer loss on neckpipe, some lacquer loss on hand slide and main tuning slide. No dents. Slide action is a 10. Valve is well broken in and works flawlessly. Valve is very low maintenance and only needs to be oiled periodically. Bell is in like new condition. Pics will tell the rest of the story.

The horn is very even and free blowing. At home in an orchestra, wind ensemble, or when soloing. Very beautiful Shires sound.

Disclaimer: I'm currently living on a military base in Japan. Will be shipping via USPS. I've shipped many packages to the states and have never had any issues. Horn will be packaged well.

Please feel free to email or PM me with questions and to see pictures.
