  <ProductName>S.E. Shires Model AZ Custom Trumpet SN 3886 OPEN BOX</ProductName>
  <Category>Trumpets/Cornets/Flugelhorns</Category>
  <Description>&lt;p&gt;IN STOCK AND READY TO SHIP&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This unique variation on the popular Shires Model A trumpet features a special, slightly squarer bell bend with a side seam and standard brass bead. It produces a brilliant, broad tone of medium density with marvelous projection and easy response. The WH leadpipe provides and ideal combination of stability and flexibility; its free-blowing character compliments the centered bell taper. Nickel-silver balusters and valve caps add brilliance and character to the sound, increase its core, and contribute to cleanness and immediacy of attack. This trumpet makes a great choice as an all-around instrument for performance in a wide variety of musical settings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Bore: .459&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Model AZ Bell: 4 13⁄16 inch, one piece, hand-hammered &amp;ldquo;A&amp;rdquo; (centered) taper in standard-weight yellow brass with traditionally brazed (side) seam, standard bead, and dual radius bend&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;WH Leadpipe: .347-inch venturi, heavyweight yellow brass; open and free blowing with well-defined slots and easy response&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;W Tuning Slide: dual-radius bend, standard water key; strong core, brilliance, and presence of sound&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Piston Material: hand-lapped Monel&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Valve Cluster: two-piece casings, standard weight, with nickel-silver balusters&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Lower Valve Caps: nickel silver&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Bell Engraving: S.E. Shires makers mark, model designation, and traditional floral pattern&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Finish: silver plate&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Includes S.E. Shires single trumpet case, mouthpiece, and care kit&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This particular instrument is in perfect condition. Ostensibly a display model, I see no sign it has ever been played.&lt;/p&gt;
