  <ProductName>S.E.Shires Custom Alto Trombone SN 8484 Bb Rotor Tuning In Slide OPEN BOX</ProductName>
  <Category>Trombones</Category>
  <Description>&lt;p&gt;Here is an EXQUISITE S.E. Shires Custom Alto Trombone. The Shires company built their reputaiton on their fine, handcrafted trombones, and this is a marvelous example of a custom alto trombone. I played this instrument and wanted to keep it for myself-this is the only alto trombone I've ever played that I thought was better than my Elkhart Conn 35H. This instrument is incredibly responsive and free blowing, with a clean upper register that is pure but not pinched. The in-slide tuning allows the bell to expand throughout its full length for a free-blowing feel and the Bb trigger is perfect for Deutsches Requiem when you'd otherwise be playing all those 7th position As. Perfect for your romantic symphonies or Mozart church music. Here are the specs for this particular instrument:
    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;A7GLW Bell With Rotor (Modified two-piece construction, soldered bell bead, gold brass, lightweight bell, Bb rotor)&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;A85/A95TIS Slide (.485/.495 dual bore, tuning in the slide, nickel silver outer slides and handslide crook)&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;T85 1.5, 2, and 3G leadpipes included.&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Marcus Bonna Case&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This instrument was a display model for Shires and shows some very, very light signs of use (see pics) but is in perfect playing condition and plays like new. Grab this magnificent alto before I decide to keep it for myself!
