S.E. Shires Custom Series Bass Trombone Bell (Special Order)

All S.E. Shires bells are handcrafted in our factory using traditional techniques. Custom bell model names usually begin with a prefix made up of letter indicating instrument type: A: alto trombone S: small-bore tenor trombone T: medium- or large-bore tenor trombone B: bass trombone Bell taper For tenor and bass trombones, a roman numeral (I or II) may follow that letter; it specifies the shape of the bell taper. Because TI bells were the first that S.E. Shires made and have historically been the most common, that particular prefix is usually omitted: SI: Small Bore 1 Taper. Standard Shires neckpipe taper. SII: Small Bore 2 Taper. Broader neckpipe taper, reminiscent of vintage King instruments. [unmarked]: TI, the original S.E. Shires tenor trombone taper TI: Tenor 1 Taper. More compact and narrower through throat, Reminiscent of vintage Conn instruments. Tends to have a darker tone quality and more sound density. Great for players with naturally expansive sound or that want to get
