Introducing the S.E. Shires Custom BII 7GM Bass Trombone, an exquisite testament to the art of trombone craftsmanship. This instrument encapsulates the essence of versatility, offering a clear, pure sound enriched by the depth and breadth for which S.E. Shires is renowned globally. Designed to meet the exacting standards of professional musicians, the BII 7GM stands as a paragon of performance, combining the nuanced response of a one-piece bell with the expansive tone of a two-piece configuration.

Unparalleled Design and Sound:

This unique bell design achieves a centered feel and projects a broad, rich sound that remains balanced and flexible across all dynamics.

  • Trubore Valves: The independent S.E. Shires F/G♭ trubore valves provide a seamless, broad, and even response, particularly when both valves are engaged, facilitating a truly open low register that speaks with authority and depth.

  • BGC Tuning Slide: The "C" taper tuning slide, drawn from gold brass, complements the bell's characteristics, enhancing the trombone's overall warmth and resonance.

  • B62 Handslide: Featuring a .562-inch bore and standard weight yellow brass construction with a nickel-silver crook, the handslide offers unmatched playability, ensuring smooth transitions and precise articulations.

Custom Features for Discerning Musicians:

  • Interchangeable Leadpipes: Three interchangeable yellow-brass leadpipes allow musicians to customize the instrument's response and feel, tailoring it to their personal playing style and the demands of various musical genres.

  • Artisanal Engraving: Each Custom BII 7GM model is adorned with the S.E. Shires maker's mark and a traditional floral pattern, signifying its elite status and attention to aesthetic detail.

Complete Professional Package: This bass trombone comes with an S.E. Shires bass trombone case, mouthpiece, and care kit, ensuring that the instrument remains in peak condition, whether in the practice room, recording studio, or on the concert stage.
