Model STBBRVO
Designed for the advancing student, the Bravo trombone opens new avenues of exploration for the player to improve upon technique and develop a unique sound.
The 8-inch, two-piece, yellow brass bell with soldered bead gives the Q33 a crisp, clean sound with the power and projection for which S.E. Shires instruments are famed. The nickel lightweight handslide in .508 bore yields quick response, crisp articulations and a brilliant sound with an open low register and supported upper register. Carefully chosen appointments and features of this step-up instrument have been specifically tailored to fit the student who is ready to take his or her musicianship to the next level.
Bravo instruments utilize the same skilled craftspeople who bring you other impeccably made Shires products using the best materials, quality components, and experienced design.
Features include a .547” large bore allowing for a big, open, and broad sound, while an open wrap F section enhances the open feel. A gold brass bell further defines a warm sound and great projection, and an included Shires gold plated mouthpiece completes the overall look and feel.

TROMBONE OPTIONS
All S.E. Shires components are handcrafted in our factory using traditional techniques
-
Because an airtight valve is essential to quick response and centered feel in all registers—and many valve options on the market do not meet our pressure-test standards—S.E. Shires chooses to produce all of our valves in house. We thoroughly test for tight fit and perfect action at every stage of manufacture.
-
All S.E. Shires bells are handcrafted in our factory using traditional techniques. Shires bells—known for their rich sound, easy response, and incredible projection—benefit from our decades of experience designing and spinning bells.
-
Our slide tubing is drawn in house to precise tolerances. Our slides are then carefully assembled, aligned, and stress relieved to assure the smooth, trouble-free action that has become the hallmark of S.E. Shires trombones.
-
S.E. Shires trombone tuning slides are engineered with a unique, smooth, double-radius design. They combine the best characteristics of single- and double-radius tuning slides in terms of timbre, response, and intonation. Tuning slide models are specified by letters indicating instrument type, material, taper, and whether the slide crook is seamed or unseamed.
-
The leadpipe is the first point of contact with the player after the mouthpiece. It plays an important role in determining the overall feel and sound of the instrument. The diameter of the venturi, the material of the pipe and its length all have a significant effect on the instrument's playing characteristics.
