FS: Shires Pro Select Tenor Trombone

[ttf_choski55]

Hello, I'm looking to sell my Shires Pro Select large bore tenor trombone. The specs are as follows:

* PSY Bell (yellow brass, soldered bead, 8 1/2”)
* PW47 (.547 bore wide, nickel crook)
* #2 leadpipe
* Axial valve section
* Standard Yellow (SY) Tuning Slide

The Pro Select line was Shires first attempt at making a streamlined horn for the masses. This was before the Master Series. All the parts were made in Massachusetts with the same quality and specs as their custom line. The only difference is that mounting hardware is different, therefore not compatible with their custom line. I would say the setup is the same as a 1YM (best guess), TW47 with a Thayer. This is not the Eastman Shires or the Q series trombones. It’s a real Shires.

The trombone is in great condition overall. There are a few mute dings on the bell as well as a ding that I highlighted on one of the pictures. The bell also has few acid bleed marks and some scratches. The slide action is good. The yamaha slide lubricant goes really well with Shires' tight tolerances. There's some usual wear around the slide braces and neck pipe. This is a great horn.

Comes with an 88H style case in fair condition (not pictured). I was originally going to have the hardware switched over to Shires’ regular hardware but decided against it since the horn sounds great as it is. It plays just as well as my other Shires.

$1950 plus shipping and any fees. Venmo and Paypal accepted.

If you have any questions please let me know. Thanks.
