Thank you for viewing. This is a tenor-bass trombone from the ST20 series by the renowned trumpet maker, Shires. It features an axial flow valve reminiscent of Getzen, is made entirely of yellow brass, and has a rose brass inner bell. The previous owner had it matte black coated. Despite its impactful appearance, it produces a rich, resonant sound. The low register, in particular, has a very warm tone. Although it's an older instrument, the slide action is good and there are no issues with playing. It's recommended for performances at events or as a collector's item. A sturdy Bach soft case is also included. Please understand that this is a used item and all sales are final.
