S.E. Shires STBMG Custom Bb Professional Tenor Trombone - Marshall Gilkes Artist Model
“The team at S.E. Shires has developed the finest trombone that I’ve ever played! This horn has incredible response and the special “ring” that I’ve been searching for in a small horn. No matter what setting or venue I’m playing in I can feel the instrument’s presence from my side of the bell. I’m extremely proud to have my name on this horn created with such incredible craftsmanship.”
