A Doc Severinsen Collaboration

  • Doc Severinsen Bell: A 4.75-inch one-piece, hand-hammered bell in standard-weight brass. The side seam, French bead, and dual-radius bend provide stunning projection and a beautifully centered tone.
  • Custom Leadpipe & Tuning Slide: The .345-inch venturi lightweight yellow brass leadpipe and braced, semi-round “C” tuning slide deliver a free and efficient blow, offering remarkable ease of attack and flexibility across all dynamics.

Balanced Construction

  • .459 Bore: Optimally sized for a breadth of tonal colors and a comfortable playing experience.
  • Brass Balusters: Enhance warmth and depth of sound while maintaining a focused core.
  • Narrow Bracing: Contributes to the instrument’s superlative response and effortless articulation.

Powerful Yet Nuanced

  • Impressive Range: Full and resonant in the upper and middle registers, with surprising heft in the low range. Despite its potential for volume and brilliance, the lightweight front end and efficient venturi allow for remarkable delicacy in softer passages.
  • Custom Slide Features: Includes lightweight slides with heavyweight crooks and a removable 1st-valve slide harmonic balancer, ensuring you can adapt the response to your personal playing style.
  • Monel Pistons: Hand-lapped for smooth action and superior compression.

Signature Finish and Engraving

  • Doc Severinsen Destino III Engraving: Showcases the collaboration’s heritage and artistic flair.
  • Silver Plate: Offers a brilliant look and a touch of added tonal sparkle.

Complete Professional Package

  • Included: S.E. Shires single trumpet case, mouthpiece, and care kit—providing everything needed to take this remarkable horn straight to the stage or studio.

From delicate ballads to exhilarating lead lines, the S.E. Shires Model Destino III stands ready to unlock a world of expressive nuance—truly a trumpet worthy of its legendary namesake.
